English Rye IPA recipe

I just made this rye english IPA. I think the rye compliments the english hops. This is for a 5.5 gallon batch.

6.5 lb American 2-row
6 lb Marris otter
2 lb flaked rye
14.5 oz 40l Crystal
5 oz 10l Crystal
5.5 oz Munich

.5 oz Kent Gold 4.5% 60 min
1 oz northern brewer 8.5% 60min
.5 oz fuggle 4.8% 45min
.5 oz fuggle 4.8% 30 min
.25 oz fuggle 4.8% 15min
.25 oz kent gold 4.5% 15min
.5 oz fuggle (aroma)
.5 oz kent gold (aroma)
1.25 oz kent gold dry hop

Mashed @ 152 degrees. Fermented on Wyeast London ESB yeast.
This beer drinks really nice, the balance is spot on. It's not overly bitter like an american pale ale, there is malt flavor followed by a nice spicy bitterness. May increase the rye next time.

Sounds like a really great recipe. I may just have to go pick up another fermenter to try this! :-)
