I am brewing an IPA that I've been toying around with for a while and I need to find the right yeast. Any suggestions (on the yeast or otherwise) would be appreciated.

Here's the recipe:

7.5 lbs Golden Promise
6 oz flaked oats
8 oz red wheat malt
8 oz white wheat malt
8 oz Carapils
1 lb malted rye
8 oz flaked rye

1.5 oz Chinook 60 min
0.5 oz Cascade 15 min
0.5 oz Chinook 15 min
1 oz Columbus at flame out

Mash in at 104 for 30 min
Protien - 122 for 45 min
Sacc- 150 for 40 min
Mash out and sparge

The goal is clean but not too dry, something that'll let the rye and wheat come through just behind the hops. I am aware of the hazards of high adjunct usage and especially the tendency of rye to stick the sparge, but want to get more comfortable with the use of these adjuncts in my brewing process, as I like the flavors they add. Thanks.
 
My first question is where are you from? I may have a good source but are a Canadian supplier.
 
Ryan,

I am in New Mexico.

hmm well then... I might recommend some digging on white labs or Wyeast sites.. i don't know if any brew supplier puts together a reference guide that the wine industry does for yeasts and additives. Sorry I am a winemaker but know some stuff about yeasts, I guess i should grow my knowledge in beer yeasts
 
Thanks for the reply. Im thinking I may put together a ten gallon batch and break it into several fermenters and play around with different yeasts. Hopefully ill get a variety of suggestions.
 
Doesnt get any cleanier than scottish strain...us05 is super clean but works great for ipas
