Batch 297, Bell's Two Hearted clone and Berry Cider

 I ordered some hops on line, and got way more than I ordered. I received 3 pounds of Centennial, so I thought to do this recipe since it's all Centennial. I've made this before, and it's always come out pretty good. As brew days go, this one kind of sucked: 

• my carbon water filter burst and turned the sparge water black, so had to dump that and start over
• my mill ( 3 roller monster mill) got jammed, so I had to take it apart and clean and adjust the gap
• I was cleaning stuff and not watching the boil kettle, so I had a boil over
• the Centennial are pellets, and that nifty thing I use to put the pellets in nylon stockings is in Baja, so made a new one
• the little tablet that I use to stream music to the beer shed was dead. Looks like it's going to be okay, though

Oh, and in the end, I missed the OG by 5 points.
