Either that or just dump out one of the five every time I mix it. Brian I mix up the 5 liters and put it into full brown glass 1-quart bottles. It seems to last at least a year unopened. Another choice is to use the strength of your physical location near the California Box-Wine Country and to simply use one of the 5-liter bags in the wine boxes. Wash it out carefully, allow it to dry completely, and, voila!, you have a handy, no-air-at-all method for preserving the XTOL for quite a few months.
