Not to poop on your parade..... My only batch I ever dumped was one fermented in that same container. It had Dr. Pepper syrup in it, I used it after MULTIPLE cleanings. The beer still had a nasty Dr. Pepper smell and flavor. I immediately chucked it in the trash.

Aww hell, well I'll just have to figure out something else to use this baby for. Might still try to get the smell out.
For what it's worth, the one I got from my LHBS which was used to ship LME cleaned out fine with no lingering odors.
You could always go for a brand new one that has never been used for anything else.... $31.55 at US Plastics, shop around for a better price.

I have 11 gallons of BM's Centennial Blonde bubbling in almost the same thing that the LHBS used to dispense bulk LME out of. It had about 5lbs of extract that some patience got out and made a lot of yeast starter. There is a second port that has 3/4 NPT on top that I use for a blowoff tube. I just use a long copper pipe/stopper for the big hole and push beer out with CO2. Racking valve would be better I think. Post up your results!
