These days when I've mixed the 5 litres of Xtol I pour it into 5 1 litre
soft drink bottles, but in the past I used to keep it in a 5 litre container
for up to 3 months and never had any problems.

Xtol only comes in 5 litre packages and is exceptionally sensitive to 
storage conditions.  I'd stick with something simpler, such as D76 1:1, 
or Edwal FG-7 1:15 (comes as a concentrated liquid) until you're 
comfortable with the mechanics of things, then start messing around 
with more "high maintenance" processes later.
