I have 5 lbs of wheat LME to get rid of - ideas?

I need to use 5 lbs of wheat LME before it goes bad. I make wheat beers, but I've switched to all DME for the lighter color. Any good ideas for recipes?

Dunkelweizen or weizenbock?

I've made an AG version of this beer a few times and it's pretty damn good. I'll be brewing it again this summer for sure.

Thanks, I may try that. I does look pretty similar to a wheat that I brew now.

I would do this, maybe add 1-2 pounds of clover honey (don't bother getting expensive stuff just something cheap from the grocery store). Toss in 1/2 oz of some noble hop at 60min and ferment it with either a hefe yeast or just a clean ale yeast.

If you're bored you could try making a raspberry wheat or something if nothing else girls will probably like it.
