Brew Day (Super Bowl Sunday)

Strong Belgium Ale.
Today i decided on a whim to brew a strong belgium ale. I hadn't prepared a yeast starter so i decided to go with some Munton's yeast packets i had. OK... so this might be a different Strong ale... but that is why i started brewing... to experiment.

10 pounds of Belgium pale malt (3 lovibond) mashed at 158 degrees F for 45 minutes. After sparging i added 2 pounds of organic white sugar (sucrose) and some Magnum and Goldings Hops and boiled for 1 hour.
O.G of 1.070

pitched yeast and set temp of fermentation chamber to around 78.
