So I just brewed my first beer in the beggining of February. My first beer was an attempt to brew a beer like Trumer. I aquired all the equipment to brew all-grain from the start. Here is the recipe I used and each time i taste it, I believe I got pretty darn close.
I had the Carboy in the garage for a solid 12 days with a constant 50 degree temperature, moved it inside the house for the last 48 hours for a diacital rest. The yeast I used was the Fermentis Saflager S-23, the final gravity was 1.010. Racked it to a 5 gal. keg to lager for a month. The beer is in the 3rd week of lagering and the only flaw I can find is chill haze. Next time I brew this I will try a step mash starting with an acid rest. It is also possible I did not use enough Irish Moss, the same mash with say a teaspoon of Irish Moss may make a difference.
I know it's an old post but someone else may be looking.

Edit: the Trumer web site does indeed say the grains are separated from the husks, I skipped that and mashed with the husks. Also the website says "highly carbonated" so I carbonated at 3.2 volums of carbonation.
