After over half a year of not being able to brew (apartment 80°F+), I'm finally getting a freezer and will be able to brew again!

I've found a bunch of recipes for a mango habanero APA, but wanted to try this with an ESB. My thought is that the fruitiness of an English yeast will complement the flavors from the extra ingredients. Here's my recipe - thoughts? I haven't brewed an ESB before, but this is what I came up with. Thanks!

3.5 lb Light DME (60 minutes)
3.5 lb Light DME (15 minutes)
1.0 lb Crystal 60 (steep)
1.0 oz Target (11%, 45 minutes)
1.0 oz Challenger (7.5%, flameout)

WLP005
Primary fermentation until it's done or close to it (3-ish days at 65°F)

Add the following to primary for 7 days:
7.0 lb frozen, blanched mango
2 habanero peppers, seeded and cut into quarters

Estimated OG: 1.057
Estimated FG: 1.017

Bottle and carbonate

It looks good to me. I was gonna brew a ESB next week so I am anxious as to how this turns out. I might use EKG and UK cascade as hops though and 10 # Maris otter
 
Thanks. Sorry I can't tell you about it yet. My freezer delivery got pushed back and I haven't been able to brew.
