I have 10 kg of the "English Ale Malt" bought from Asahi malts; its supposedly like a Marris Otter and I want to use it as one. Here is a recipe I just made in Beersmith with ingredients I have on hand. Can someone take a look and give me some feedback? I am doing a BIAB, and my main goal is session beer with a bit of body and some good hop aromas.

Ingredients
3.5 kg Marris Otter (Asahi English Ale Malt)
.15 kg Crystal 30
.15 kg Crystal 60
12 gm Northern Brewer @ 60 min
12 gm Northern Brewer @ 5 min
12 gm Perle @ 60 min
12 gm Perle @ 5 min
S-04 English Ale Yeast
BIAB 19.5L Batch size (18L bottling volume)
4 days in primary @ 19 Celcius
10 + days in secondary
I have never dry hopped but was thinking about putting a bit of the Perle in the secondary as well, worthwhile idea?
The ale malt from Asahi is finely crushed, my brew kettle is 50 Liters capacity, and I have an unheated house but will put the fermenter on a heat pad. Right now I could ferment at ambient temps of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius without the heat pad; what would a cool ale fermentation do for the flavors?
Thanks!
