Thanks.
 
I'd like more info on the wild yeast, but the rest looks fine. The cool thing about wild ales is that you learn that the grainbill doesn't matter all that much. It's mostly about the wild yeast character. Don't over hop it, for many reasons, and you'd be good with most normal grainbills. I'm over generalizing, but hopefully you get my point.
 
Well, it's Oklahoma wild yeast I cultured myself. Mix a little DME with some water in a glass jar and leave it by an open window until you see signs of life (took 2 weeks for mine to start). Make sure nothing bad has taken up residence by giving it a good smell and visual inspection and then make beer!
