I don't bother pouring them over to 500ml bottles anymore. I'm not sure how long it keeps. I usually go through it well within any kind of "best before" date. I store them under the sink (where it's dark). The bottles themselves are clear plastic. Pretty nice stuff, that Xtol. I'm even in the process of replacing Rodinal with Xtol for the Agfa films I use in 120.
