Anyone know if you can lay a co2 container on its side and still dispense the gas safely or is there something not good about doing this?

On a positive note I found a source for lbs of hops that I cannot find at ahs. Nikobrew is the name of the site.

You should get some Keg lube and put some around all the o rings on the lid.
It helps seal the smallest leaks.
I dont think you can lay CO2 on their side, but ask somone at AHS.
