All looks good apart from the Roasted barley, thats gonna be a stout, Unless thats what you wanted?

Ruduce the RB to about .1kg for a bit of colour.

Nelson hops are great, just get it bottled asap to let them mellow.

Yes either drop the roasted barley right down or replace with crystal malt. Going to be dodgy fermenting at 28C, possibly off-flavours, but good luck anyway.
