Anyone ever make an APA with all pils? I'm doing a partigyle and want to use pils to make a quadrupel, and the last 2/3 of the wort to make an APA. I'll be mashing low at 149 for the quadrupel, so the beer will need some body. I was thinking something like this:
A main mash of 10 lbs pils. First 1/3 are collected for the quadrupel, then crystal malts are added to the mash and allowed to steep before collecting the second 2/3 for the APA.

Sound good? Any suggestions? What will an all pils APA taste like? I put a lot of carapils in the APA to make up for the low mash temp and low gravity. I have a choice between US-05 and WLP002 for the APA...I'm not sure which to use. Thanks for any help.
