You can purchase a set of 5 gallon plastic pails online at Amazon. Or if you prefer to purchase them off-line you can find them in Home Depot, which can be found across the U.S. and Canada.
Plastic pails can be used for numerous things. Some people use plastic pails for gardening or for water bowls for their animals. Others might use plastic pails at the beach or in a water table. Then others will use them to shell peas in or in their kitchen.

Because pails come in quite a variety of sizes there is no single answer to that question. 5 gallon plastic pails are very common and might be considered the "standard" size. 4 and 5 quart galvanized pails both seem to be very common - which means that there would be either 1 or 1.25 gallons in one of them. I believe the 5 quart is a bit more common than the 4 quart because it can hold a full gallon and still have some room at the top so that when a gallon of liquid (like milk) is carried in it, it doesn't slop over the sides as easily. Mop (utility) buckets are often referred to as pails and come in a variety of sizes ranging from about 2 gallons to about 5 gallons.
a gallon is 0.1337 cu ft, so 5 gallons is5 x .1337 = .668 cu ft5 cubic yards is 5 x 27 = 135 cubic feet135/.668 = 202 5-gallon pails
Aluminum pails should not be used in winemaking as aluminum is a reactive metal. For home winemaking, the preferred pails are food grade plastic. They can be purchased at a winemaking supply store or you could make arrangements to possibly pick some up from a local restaurant before their pails are discarded or go into the recycle bin. Just give them a good cleaning and sanitize them before using them.
The number of 5-gallon pails in a ton of barley depends on the weight of the barley and the volume of the pail. Barley typically weighs about 48 pounds per bushel, and there are approximately 56 pounds in a bushel, which translates to roughly 2,000 pounds in a ton. A 5-gallon pail can hold about 37.5 pounds of barley when filled. Therefore, there would be approximately 53 pails in a ton of barley (2,000 pounds ÷ 37.5 pounds per pail).

You first dump the 5-gallon pail, then fill the 5-gallon pail from the water from the 8-gallon pail. Then you dump the 5-gallon pail again, and you are left with 2 gallons in the 8-gallon pail.
Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.
