Newbie question here:
I just bought a new 10# CO2 tank from a reputable shop and took it down to be filled. They did it on the spot and gave it to me, and it was covered in ice/frost, which they said was normal after filling.
I assumed it would melt away pretty quick, but it's been almost an hour and it's still covered in the frost. I sprayed a little hot water on it which melted some of it, but then it froze again in about a minute. It's the whole tank and not just around the fitting, so I don't think it's leaking.
Does anyone know how long it should take for all the frost to disappear so I can actually hook it up to my beer?
Thanks.
