Co2 Bottle Issue

[riksbeaton]

I've got a 2.6kg bottle that was full one week ago.
I had it in my fridge connected to a keg.
I noticed the other day that the temp was a little to cold and turned it down,( so I thought ). It turns out I made the fridge cooler and froze my keg.
I'm not to worried about the keg as the beer should be fine, the issue is that the bottle is either frozen or empty. My questions are.has this ever happened to you. Is my bottle damaged. Any way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

A full bottle of CO2 is upwards of 500PSI.

At 0C or even -10C it's all liquid and miles off freezing point.

Have you checked for leaks, particularly around the reg->bottle join and the gauges? Spray bottle of soapy water does the trick.

Thanks Seemed, even if I had a small leak would it empty in one night?

Definitely possible. You wouldn't be the first person to go through a bottle of gas overnight due to a leaky connection!
