If I where you the first thing I would do is stop by the welcome center. After that spend about 30 hours reading.

You have to invest some study time to be successful in this hobby.

Welcome, pye87, although this isn't the welcome center...

It sounds like you bit on the lure of turbo yeast greed... The warning flag was where the recipe said to add activated carbon into your wash... Didn't that sound a bit odd to you...??? And then you were instructed to use a clearing agent to try to remove the carbon... The home brew shops use these tactics all the time just to dig deeper into your wallet...

The truth is that those turbo washes don't come close to teaching you the correct, tried and true, methods of becoming a successful distiller... They, instead, keep you relying on the folks at the brew shops who simply "sell" you another possible solution to the problems you shouldn't be having... We have addressed these problems many times here in the forums... Scrap the high gravity washes powered by turbo yeasts and learn how to ferment and distill the right way from the start...

Personally, I'd suggest scrapping that nasty wash and writing it off as a lesson learned... Sure, there may be way to clear the wash so it can be run, but at what additional expense and will the resulting spirits be worth the effort...??? You've found your way to where you need to be and we have more than enough information here to guide you in the right direction... Do your research and ask questions if you can't find all of the answers...

Good luck...
