I had linked this in a previous thread, I have yet to find a more informative guide!

Two sources I have came upon for carbon:

The key to carbon filtering is the 'time on bed', that is how long the spirit is in contact with the carbon. Less carbon, slower flow rates. Personally I am not a fan of static soaking. We pump the spirit at about 100L/hr through 4 x 3 meter columns in series.
