That's a standard 30L bucket. You can get them at any wine store. Scoop & Save sells them a bit cheaper.

I use a slightly transparent version of that bucket for most of my measuring (plastic handles on the side instead of a wire handle) - I think I paid $14 or so for mine at Wine Kitz...

That's a decent price. Do you normally ferment in plastic?

I go back and forth depending on whats available. I only have 1 3 gallon and 1 5 gallon glass carboy. Im trying to narrow in on a 7.5 gallon fermentation system when I move to my 10 gallon BIAB pot in the spring. Im thinking I may split between the 5 & 3 to experiment with differwnt yeasts and other additions. Thoughts?

You might want to think about standardization if you're trying to get 10 gallons out of a single batch.

brew has done this with good results. He got 3 full kegs from a 10 gallon batch.

Ill definitely give this a go for the next round of pale ale that I do. Seems to make sense. Would you need to use RO or distilled ?

When I start brewing again in March, I'm going to run my house pale ale like this. It's been 3 months since I brewed my last batch. I just tapped my last keg. I have 4 on tap right now, but I expect to kick at least 2 of them shortly.
