Just brewed what was supposed to be an ~8% double IPA with 1.085 OG and only hit 1.065. see below for the grain bill...my only explanation is that my thermometer is too hot and my mash temp was much lower than intended (148 intended).
Has anyone experienced this? 20 point miss seems insane, as ive always nailed my target OG. I always use this thermometer, but usually my mash is a little higher (152-154), so if the thermometer is off and my typical mash is lower, that might be ok, versus this lower mash temp might be too low.
Any advise? Thanks!

2# malted oats
2# white wheat
