I wanted to try a late LME addition, but I wasn't sure which to add later. I'm also going for a full boil so I hope it won't be TOO bitter.

I appreciate any feedback!
 
If you are worried about too bitter, drop the 25 minute additions to 15 and flameout. That will provide much more flavor and aroma also.
 
+1 to moving those adds later.

id ditch the carapils. its already in extracts and really not needed in wheat beers. a lil bit of caravienne, honey malt, or light crystal would be a better sub IMO. btw, as is you're only at like 40% wheat. extracts are 65% wheat at most, so I wouldnt bother mixing in the pils.
