Add a gallon of boiling water right away? Or if you say how much grain you have, and the strike water already used, we can run it through a calculator.

Maybe its 8 degrees pulling out a second thermometor now. May have an issue with the main one.

Gallon of boiling got me to 144 I am s0 min into mash. Gonna leave it. Any additional help? Mash longer?
Definitely make sure the thermometer is right. Boil a small amount of water separately to calibrate it. My first batch I was 20F below because my thermometer was wrong.
A 144 mash will give you a higher alcohol lower body beer. But it does take a little longer. I'd mash for an extra 15 minutes. It will still be good, just different.
