Did the whole clean up procedure at the end of last season with the final acid wash drained membranes as much as possible then into bags and into freezer per CDL recommendations. Assuming I did all of this correctly, before the start of the season it is as simple as letting them unthaw running a rinse through them then off to the races? I feel like maybe a rinse with distilled then a soap rinse then more distilled before I process sap again? Might be overthinking this. This will be my second season with the unit and took it from brand new last year so that was very straightforward. I want to make sure I get this right as I will never boil raw sap again!

I store mine like you do then pretty much just pull them out of the fridge, put everything together, run some permeate through it that I saved and I’m off to the races…
