I assume this is 5 or 5.5 gallons?

I'd get rid of the Melanoidin and Carapils malt completely, no need for either. Bump up the pale or munich to compensate for ABV.

The co-humulone on Green Bullet is sky-high, almost 40%. That's not going to lend itself to a smooth bittering. I've never heard of nor used Bobek, but it sounds more like a nobel hop than a good IPA-style hop.

I'll be honest, this is not something I'd drink.
