Duvel has about the best beer foam out there and uses nothing but pils malt and sugar. The point is that you don't need carapils, flaked barley or wheat, or anything else to get good foam. What you need are good procedures. Check this out....

First of all, carapils is a crystal malt and should be treated as such (keep the % low in your grist- a pound is a lot unless it's the only crystal in your recipe).
