Made of 440 grade stainless, was included with parts for a keezer so may be related to beer brewing, 1/4 in dia.

A beefy handlebar for a beetle’s motorcycle.

(Honestly have no idea.)

To big for a beetle, maybe Crazy Frog’s handle bar?

Looks like the gas-in stub that comes off the other end of the gas tap inside the keg. I was using Cornelius style kegs though, and one end of the tubes was always flared for the o-ring to seat in.

These are solid, not a tube.

Looks like a locking pin where the groove sits against a sprung ball bearing. Easy enough to insert and release but prevents two parts from moving in a perpendicular path to the pin. Can be used to stop pivoting too.

Makes me think of the kind of pin that you pull out to lift up the seat of a rowing machine to store it vertically.

The groove defiantly looks like a detent, the kegs do have a lever that lifts to open them but there is no hole for this to fit.

Looks like a shear pin, but bent for some reason? Is it hollow inside?

Nope, solid. The angle is about 25° and is the same on both sides. I have four of them all identical. The Keezer is a 4 keg system but nothing I can find shows these as a part for the kegs, regulators, beer faucets, etc.

If it’s solid, I got nothin’.

I was going to say it looks like a metal straw used for drinking yerba mate, but without the strainer on the end.

Obviously a solid straw isn’t getting you far.

It’s for people who are trying to quit drinking?

Was this a kit for a keezer or just included with some parts you picked up?

It was a used Keezer I picked up from Craig’s list, I took my time disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling / rewiring so now the seller is no longer contactable to ask.
