No comments still, well I'll give it a shot. I'd lose the carapils. With the wheat, crystal and the hops you shouldn't need it. I'd also personally mash lower for an IPA but as this is a fruit beer maybe that's intentional. Hard for me to comment on that, I'm not a big fruit beer fan unless it's a low gravity wheat.
