Helped a guy out to polish off a 5L keg of Doom Bar yesterday and I noticed the last pint after tilting upside down had some clumps of yeast in it..
Does anyone know if this is primary strain or a basic kegging yeast??

Re: Doom Bar 5L keg yeast?
Considering the brewery size i would guess a packaging yeast. Sharps will want the beer conditioning to some fairly exacting standards for their level of distribution. Just guessing though!

Re: Doom Bar 5L keg yeast?
There are tiny amounts of what sounds like the same small yeast clumps in the bottled Doombar as well. From previous discussions on the forum by people who have tried it before, this differs from the old bottles with yeast which could reliably produce a starter for our brewing.

Think I'll give it a miss with regards to the scavenging of a strain.
