In the Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible the dude had a keg similar to that and used a plumbing expansion plug to fill the thing iirc. I was looking for what they were called and found this: http://www.newmantools.com/cob/pipeplugs.htm That second listing down looks like it would be a great match if it...

I've had success cleaning glass jugs and better bottles both by a long soak in whatever you have at hand followed by dumping out most of it, throwing in a handful or two of dry rice and swirling the hell out of it, and shaking it in every direction. Don't leave the rice sit in there too long...
