    Help me get more head

    Has your water supply changed at all. I believe that carbonation and head retention can be adversely affected by PH level and water chemistry. There are articles out there that explain this in greater detail. You may want to have your water tested or at least consider this as an issue.

    What do these numbers tell me, please?

    I agree with smellyglove, I never use a refractometer to measure FG, Use a hydrometer.

    New AG'er, Efficiency Problems

    I think that screen sticking up was part of the problem also. I know you mentioned it above, but you really need to make sure that remains at the bottom of the mash. Good luck on your next brew.

    Oops, too much water... options?

    I'd leave it as is. My bet is, that it'll be pretty damn tasty.

    Why are my IPA's so malty?

    +1 on what Yooper said. I also think your mash temperature is a little high. I usually mash my IPA's around 150°F

    Grain mill

    Monster mill MM2, awesome mill. You can control the crush by adjusting the gap between the rollers. The mill is solid and will increase your efficiency by at least 5-10 percent, maybe more.
