I think one of the best solutions to this problem is to find some
nice beer that you like that comes in brown 500ml European style flip
top bottles, buy a dozen (so that you have a couple of spares - maybe
you'll want more spares than that:-) ), and after dealing with the
original contents use the bottles for storing the stock solution.
Half a year is no problem for a completely full bottle!
