Here's some more info on the gravity readings: I was worried (not really worried, mostly curious) about the OG reading since I got 1.056 rather than the stated 1.048 in the instructions. I just plugged the recipe into beercalculus at hopville.com, and guess what came up? 1.056.
It shows a range of 1.050 to 1.058, with a calculated OG of 1.056. The BJCP style guide states OG should be 1.052 or lower, with an FG 1.012 or lower. Looks like I'll hit the FG, but my OG is off according to style. The IBUs are low too at 6.3, style states at least 10. A full boil would have gotten me 9.1 IBUs.
