every thing went pretty well, not too much boil over

adding some hops

and after that the camera went dead and couldn't find the charger
i used 2 packets of safale us-05 yeast, SG was 1.070. i'm not sure how much i collected after the boil and all, i haven't marked my 10 gallon fermenter yet but i think i got around 9 to 9 and a half gallons. we'll see how it turns out in about 2 weeks. i'll let it sit in the fermenter for 2 weeks and then transfer to kegs
i always say i'll post pics of brew day and now i have finally done it lol
thanks for taking the time to look
