Just thought I'd post my experience here since I've seen several conversations about how long sanitizers last once mixed and stored as I've wondered the same things myself.
I've had 1 gallon of star-san mixed up for 10 or 11 months and have used it on several batches, so I thought I better check pH before I use it again. It currently has a pH of 2 so I should be good to go for quite a while.
For those that dump it once it goes cloudy or after only 1 or 2 uses I'd definitely hang onto it for a while...that pH is going to stay put for quite some time.
