Does the liquid eventually need to be emptied (ie. when does it lose its effectiveness)?
I do this too. For my particlar bottle its 1.15ml star san to the bottles 25 fl oz fill line.+1 for StarSan in a spray bottle.
1.5ml/qt water.
You can read on posts in this forum or google all about star san shelf life, it's good until the pH comes above a certain point... I don't remember what that is off the top of my head.Does the liquid eventually need to be emptied (ie. when does it lose its effectiveness)?

Ive had the same solution of Star San for the past three years in a spray bottle. It will be obvious when you need to make a new solution; it will start to be cloudy. Otherwise youre good to go.
Wow I can't believe how efficient you guys are with your sanitizer. I mix up a full 5 gallons for dunking and soaking parts on brew day, rinse out my fermonster with about 2 quarts, then dump it all down the sink when I'm done. I feel like such a jerk. Bottling day will be a different story, thanks for setting me straight.
