Sounds a good recipie,very nice hop profile you got there.
Try "first wort hopping"
-prevents boil over
-provides a thermal lid making it come to the boil quicker
-adds depth to overall flavour
-adds aroma which goes against our text book logics!
Just add your 1st hops along with your wort run off.
