Rotate once a year and you'll be fine, although it would probably be fine for years, especially in a dark closet. I rotate yearly except for my car kit, which is 6 months. Not because I'm worried about bacteria growth but for taste. Sitting in a hot car for months seems to impart more of a plasticy taste.
