I'm new to kegging so I don't have any previous experience with CO2. I'm not force carbing and don't have room for a 5lb tank so I bought a 20oz tank from the sporting goods store and had it filled. I didn't have a fitting on properly and some CO2 leaked and I could smell it. It had a smell like machine oil or something. I'm not sure if I'm smelling the tank, the CO2 or the regulator. I carefully sprayed some into the air (trying not to suffocate myself) and smelled it again to be sure, and that is what I'm smelling.
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried my beer will end up tasting like this?
Thanks.
