I filter sterilize mine and aseptically decant into a sterile bottle.   You
can buy filters that hold 100 mL or 1 liter, what ever you need.  The 1
liter filters come with a screw cap so you don't have to decant the
filtrate, just remove the fileter and cap the reservoir. This is easy and
not that expensive.
