Danstar Munich yeast.
 
Are you doing a traditional Hefeweizen? If so, you absolutely need Wyeast 3068, the White labs equivalent or another Weizen yeast. If you are going for an American Wheat, the Munich should be fine.

You have 5lbs of wheat malt so the flaked wheat isn't necessary.
 
Looks like a good Weizen, I agree with Edcculus, you need a differant yeast for a traditional German Weizen. Wy 3068 is fantastic, but at least go with 3638.
 
Yeah, the flaked is just something I have that I want to get rid of before it goes bad. Have had it sitting around for a while.
