Well using an English yeast for such a simple grain bill might be a better option, otherwise looks OK to me.

I'm sure personal preferance comes into play , but i'd be pushing the IBU's north of 30, i'd also go for an English yeast.

I made a really nice English IPA with EKG. Recipe is:

10 pounds maris otter
1 pound torrified wheat
1 pound victory malt
8 ounces crystal 80L

1 ounce EKG 60 minutes
1 ounce EKG 30 minutes
1 ounce EKG 15 minutes
1 ounce EKG 5 minutes

London ESB yeast Wyeast 1968 (big starter)

OG 1.050
FG 1.012 (was shooting more for 1.016)

Brewed it on little kit and it was spot on, used S04 in the end.
Mate brewed it on his bigger kit and has simply flown over the bars

I love EKG, usually i one of my house ales its SMASH Pale malt and EKG, around 5%, 30IBUs, fermented with S04, at the cooler side (16º/18º). In the end, i get a nice, refreshing, tasty pint!!

Here's a foto of it, almost like a Kolsher with a english touch!! I also use S05 if i dont have S04;


usually, i boil the first runnings (5L) until i have only 1L, then i add it to the main boil, to give some body and some complexity!!
Cheers
