I got it at REI; they sell it separate from the bag. It's an MSR
assessory. I think they sell a bag with tube and bite valve as well.

I think 6 quarts is probably ok in the spring.  I went with a bag and a
2 one liter bottles for a while, but I found the bottles to be bulky
when I didn't need them.  Now I carry the 2 bags and a plastic soda
bottle for use in camp.
