Hello all!
I am looking for feedback on a barleywine - I am curious about the hop combo/schedule and if the IBU is too high for a BW. Also would like any input on the flaked rye and if I should use flaked barely instead. Honestly, any thoughts would be appreciated!

90 min mash @ 148 with 70% efficiency
120 min boil
OG: 1.100
Est FG: 1.017, ABV 10.8%
IBU: 97
SRM: 14
Yeast: re-using San Diego yeast cake after I rack the pumpkin stout off
Water: BrunWater Amber Dry- 51ppm Ca, 23ppm Mg, 20ppm Na, 51ppm Cl, 110ppm SO4
Grains
15# pale malt (60%)
5# munich malt 9L (20%)
3# flaked rye (12%) **I have not used this before, curious about the spiciness from the rye
1# table sugar (4%)
0.5# cara60 (2%)
0.5# cara90 (2%)
1# rice hulls
Hops
FWH: 2oz Magnum (14.7% AA)
