I think this was my problem. My temp was at 152, which was the target, when i mashed in. However, after about 10 minutes, i dropped down to 148, and after that i was at 145. I measured at different spots and it was low, so i added some boiling water to bring the temps up to 150. Had to do that twice. This was my biggest concern when i was brewing. I think i heated up my mash tun too quickly.
What are you mashing in? Really strange that it is dropping so quickly.

He's got the Austin all grain kit, so round drink coolers.
Speaking of... I got myself a 10 gal Homedepot water cooler. Might not be far from setting it up for all grain this year.

MY water was at 162-165. I probably should have had it higher. Directions called for mash temps to be at 150. So thats where i was. I did pre boil some water and added to the mash tun, to heat it up. But that was a good 10-15 minutes before starting the mash.
I think i had about 10.75 lbs 2 row, and .5 lbs crystal 20
