I found a trove of my Father's bottled hard cider made about twenty years ago in the corner of a cellar. The bottles were frozen to the dirt floor as the building is not heated, and hasn't been for 10 years. After poking one of the bottles with a stick to make sure it wouldn't explode, I brought it inside. The liquid is very clear, a soft amber color. There is some yeast settled on the bottom in a solid cake that remains intact when I swish the bottle.
Do you think this cider is of any quality?
Do I need to pasteurize it?
I'm a little hesitant to open the bottle.
Thanks,
Brill
