Has anyone had this issue or did I get a faulty unit?

I got my Baratza Encore today and set it up as per manufacturer instructions. I researched here and in the manual and set it up at 18 for my MM KB.

It came out with the consistency of crushed rock, and the brew was yellow and super sour. I only got a perfect brew around the 7-10 range of grinder setting. That seems wildly off what I researched.
