I bought an 8.8 lb container of hefe LME and have decided to make 2 batches instaed of one big one. I have 1 lb of munich and i lb of wheat malt as well as some flaked wheat and honey. Can I get enough fermentables out of 4.5 lbs of LME and .5 wheat malt .5lb of munich and 1lb of honey? or will I have another batch of hefelite on my hands? Please advise - should I go BIG or brew 2 batches?

In promash, I get about a 1.043 OG with the 4.5 lbs of LME and the adjuncts. For a wheat, it looks just about right.
