Have/had same problem when I take my Alky out of the freezer :-)
The quickest way is to add a little bit of dino fuel. The petroleum distillates keeps the Alky from condensensing water into it.

The funnest part is to take the Alky out of the freezer, and watch as the water around the outside attaches to the container.

The Alky being hydroscopic (<-sp?) is what causes it to suck in the water vapors.

The higher the proof the harder it is to keep it from happening.

Zeolite is good for keeping the water out until usage, but I've found that even a small amount, 1 gas to 20 Alky keep it from having problems.

I like zeolite, but don't have enough to keep more than one batch in it, so I've gone to mixing as little gas as possible.

Hope this helps
