So I made a 23l batch of Sack Mead last fall. I used 11.5kg of total step-fed honey and used DV10 yeast. F.G 1.02 ABV 17.58%

After bulk aging for 1 yr I put some oak in 8 cubes American Med Toast and 4 cubes American Dark Toast for 2 months.

The result is a thick viscous mead mead with some residual sweetness. Prior to the oak addition there was some harshness on the finish but the oak grounded that out and left slight caramel/coffee notes behind.

Conclusion I really like DV10.

I agree that it is a good yeast. Especially if you like good volume/ mouthfeel. I blend it with other things to get the added volume. It also contributes to acidity/mineralogy.
I have 3 batches of it going as we speak.

This is DV10. I'll be adding cranberries to the Mesquite, and strawberries to the ON. The snowberry will be a trad or possibly a meth. Don't know for sure
