I've run into this problem for the last several months and I never used to have it before. I am DRAMATICALLY blowing through my estimated FG numbers. This didn't used to happen. I was always within a point or two of my Beersmith FG target. The only recent two changes I have made are a new mash tun and a new thermometer. I made both of these changes with hopes that I would get back on target, but two batches later and it's still the same.
I calibrated the new thermometer in ice water and then boiling water. It was within a degree in each instance. My latest 153 degree mash yielded a 1.050 wort and a pack of Nottingham took it to 1.004! I am consistently hitting in the 1.008-1.005 range regardless of initial gravity.
