It's a good question r.e. bladder, I have a handful and the shape can be awkward, the Camelbak one while is a brilliant hydration pack, have a massive cap which need to be store vertical in a frame bag.
The one @cake recommended (Platypus) look idea to be stored in a frame and wish I have gone for that one.
A 1 litres bladder is recommended, max 2 litres as that's way more than 3 bottles worth!
Echoing's @laner a custom frame bag is only worth it if you're going full frame bag, half frame bag already work for nearly all of the road bike out there.
I have been touring in the last week with a 2 litres bladder, and it was great to be able to drink without being concern about rationing the water from the bottle.
I'm gonna do a lots more research on this, it would be great if a company produced a bikepacking hydration pack that sit neatly in the frame bag.

Of course. Thanks. And thanks @edscoble
I'd figured out it would make sense to use the bottom water bottle cage with an adapter to move the cage lower. I'd already ordered the adapter (oops) but this makes much more sense.
Is there a recommended bladder? I have no idea what I'm doing but am planning to be doing some touring in the second half of July so need to get things sorted (and Restrap custom frame bags take three weeks).
