Went to look at my keezer and discovered this. I assume its bad but not sure what is wrong exactly. If the picture isn't clear the entire body of the regulator is frozen.

From the looks of that, I bet the tank is empty...
That sometimes happens when you use your tank for an extended period. At the brewery I work at, I notice some frosting when we are carbonating. Perhaps you have a leak that is causing it. Check all of you junctions with some leak detector or some star san in a spray bottle.

That's the strange part. I replaced the tank yesterday because I had a leak. I thought I found it but maybe not. I lost about 6lbs of co2
Another vote for a leak. Bummer.

Found it. The keg I bought from the LHBS yesterday has a bad seal. Just awesome.

Definitely a leak. Don't forget to check the reg itself...sometimes the safety valves will blow and leak out all your gas.

It ended up being the keg seals. I took for granted that the supposedly refurbished and tested keg from the LHBS would hold a seal. Won't do that again. Trust but verify from now on I guess.
