This just hit me. They were adjusting the grain mill when I was doing my shopping at normally. I'll bet the grains didn't get crushed enough.

I just bottled this today, and think I had an issue with my yeast or efficiency. Post boil gravity was 1.030 (seems fairly low considering the OP's was 1.051) and Final Gravity at bottling was 1.019. :(

+1 Woot gets some sick deals (like my Vizio tablet for $150). If you want a Mr. Beer kit for cheap, today is a good day to buy it.
