As an afterthought could I use a Brita activated charcoal water filter?

Hopefully final set of questions. Do you use a charcoal filter for a home water system or did you fabricate one on your own? If you are using a store model or components should I be looking for. Likewise any tips regarding setup if your filter is home made and where did you source the carbon?

Thanks

Since this is my first attempt I plan on starting small and will age either one or two quart jars of moonshine. As to chips or spirals I am open to suggestions but with the larger surface area provided by chips it may be prudent to start with spirals. Suggestions on how many spirals per quart would be helpful as well as how long to stage on the spirals. Also how long before sampling to make sure I do not over oak the whiskey and is a lighter oak better than a dark oak. Lastly, am I compromising product quality (taste/flavor) every time I collect a sample?
