Getting my brew on again

[send]

Hello

I haven’t brewed a batch in almost 10 years due to moving, equipment issues, brewing space and life in general. I’m emptying a storage unit that has all the gear to get back into it and came across some Cornelius kegs that are full of cider. I didn’t make the cider. It came with the kegs from a friend. The batch is from 2002. The kegs are still holding pressure and the aroma smells like hard cider. Once I get everything setup I’ll pull some off and try it if it looks ok. I’m not familiar with cider. Does long term storage in a corny have a down side??
Thanks

As long as there is pressure and the kegs didn't get too warm it should be ok to drink.

I do some ciders, but bottle, not keg. Age (up to a point) will improve the cider but I don't know about19 years! Please let us know how it turns out.
