Failboat.

Well, I just brewed my Amber ale. Failboated the mash pretty badly. Last time I had problems with the temperature running away on me and I obviously overcompensated. Mash temp was typically around 144-150. Obviously got awful conversion because my O.G. is around 1.026. This will put the beer around 3ish% ABV. Flavor and color isn't bad, so at least it will be drinkable.

I think in the future I'll order an extra bag of DME and take a pre-boil gravity reading to see what's going on.
