question to better bottlers.

if you hold your nose to your clean and sanitized 6 gallon BB that you have used for batch after batch, what do you smell?

i am moving away from my bucket because it does not have a neutral smell.

Im brewing my 3rd batch tonight, just pulled out my fermenter. Haven't sanitized it yet but cleaned well after use with b brite. I noticed it has a faint odor of the wort. Is this normal? Do I need to reclean?

if it is a bucket it is unfortunately normal
 
Once mine are cleaned and thoroughly rinsed with cold water, they have no lingering odors what so ever. Even after they've dried and have been stored they have no odor. When I brewed in buckets, no matter how much I cleaned them, there was always some residual smell.
good to know. i think i've been convinced to at least try a better bottle.
