thats a pretty high mash temp, esp for an IPA. thats also alot of crystal for an IPA with extract (extract already has carapils in it). id drop the temp closer to 150 and ditch the carapils. id consider adding in some sugar as well to help it attenuate.

thats an overly complex hop schedule. theres no need for 4 bittering additions and 8 different hops. the fuggs & willy are kinda out of place too

ah the mash temp was a mistake. um whatt kind of sure do you recommend? and I am updating the hop schedule.

just plain sucrose is fine, id swap out 0.5-1lb of the LME for the sugar.
