I use Star San Fives Star Sanitizer and my question is this. Does anyone re-use there sanitizer for the next batch? If so, how many times do you re-use it and how long does it last when mixed?  It seems a waste to make up 5 gallons and then dump each time I use it.

Thanks
Steve
 
+1 on ph.  Fill a 5 gallon bucket and re-use.  A 12 oz container lasts me about 2 years.

use distilled/ro water if you want it to stay clear, and keep it covered
 
Thanks for the info, bought a bucket today, will get some test strips later to keep and eye on the PH level.
