What’s this on a keg

[Paulchef]

Does anyone know what this small blue thing is on a keg?

It's hard to see. Have you got a better photo? What kind of keg is it? Can you take a picture of the whole keg?

 

[Gerryjo]

That looks like a brewery keg and might possibly be an identifier but I maybe wrong.

RFID tag possibly..

I’ll have to go back to the seller to get a better picture, it’s a strong bow keg, wasn’t sure if it’s some type of pressure valve

Thanks for that Gerryjo, best leave it then in case I have the brewery knocking my door

Certainly better leaving it with it's current owner for sure.

Tiny police light, you're in real trouble if it starts flashing blue

Swipe your phone over it with RFID switched on and see if it registers something.

It's a tracking chip like you get in vaccines. Nonsense free version : Yes, RFID tag.

There's a crescent moon punch on a keg as a weak spot that'll blow if it's overpressured. It really would turn into a rocket and get there, too, as the pressure they can take is mahooosive.

If that is a tag you want to treat that like a hot potato where did you buy it?

He hasn't bought it and I think he's just going to give it a by-ball

No didn’t buy, when I saw the blue thing I thought it was a pressure valve or something similar and wanted to check with those who know before I took the plunge.
