Another cheaper idea is to buy food-grade liners for reused barrels.  The 
Plastics Co @ 800.567.2718 carries several sizes to fit barrels up to 55-gal.  

Use any open-head barrel whose insides are smooth enough to not overly abrade 
the liner and whose lid is, or can be made to be, compatible w/ water.  
Beekeeping suppliers (AI Root, Walter Kelly, Brushy Mountain, Dadant) sell a 
food-grade paint for use on honey handling equipment that works great.
