Why cutting into a gas cylinder is a bad idea

My friend Pedro the Cruel and I wanted to build a combination camp shower and keg chiller using this effect - the idea being that we’d heat water with propane and suck the heat out of the beer at the same time. Unfortunately we never got it to work, and the math guys (I am not a math guy!) did some analysis and said it would not be possible unless we ran the shower for impractical amounts of time at dangerous temperatures.
