I'd get some caramalt in there too to give it some maltiness.

Yes, sorry 23 L brewlength.
I'll add 150g of Crystal. I'm just slightly concerned about residual sweetness being too cloying as the WLP002 won't attenuate too much.
Decided to lower the MO to 3.7kg and mash at 65C to get around 3.5%abv and to dry it out a bit more.
