Just brewed a 5-gal. pale ale that included 0.5 lb. plain wheat spray malt extract. Now I've got 2.5 lbs. vacuum-sealed and awaiting future adventures. Any suggestions for a partial mash/partial boil/BIAB follow-up or two? The DME doesn't have to dominate; I'm fine with it as an adjunct. Note: I don't have fermentation temp control so I can't do anything that has to ferment below 68-72ยบ. Thanks!

Nothing is simpler than a German Hefe extract batch.  You don't even have to steep anything and it will still turn out good.

For 5 gals:
6 lbs Wheat Dry Malt Extract
1 oz 4% Tettnanger or 4% Hallertaur @ 60
Wyeast 3068 or WLP 300

or you can use wheat and pilsner malt to do a small mash and use the remainder of what you have in DME:

2.5 lbs Wheat Dry Malt Extract
3 lbs White Wheat Malt
3 lbs Pilsner Malt
1 oz 4% Tettnanger or 4% Hallertaur @ 60
Wyeast 3068 or WLP 300

Mash at 151F

The OG should be around 1.050.  The IBUs around 18
FG should be around 1.010

This confirms what someone else said, that you can make an excellent weissbier from DME. They said they used Briess bavarian wheat DME which was 65%/35% wheat and barley.

I'm going to use this DME and low hopping but T-58 Yeast instead. Anyone else know about wheat DME?

With just extract you don't even have to boil.
