 <p>I was thinking about making some profound blog article about how creating any stuff not only hardware, software or
 art is nice and anyone can find a niche for themselves. Well, there you have it, until I finalize proper analysis of my
 writing habits and goals I don't think I want to write things like that. Instead, let's talk about alcohol.
-<p>Last year I did not do much. No brewing, no nothing really. The only thing I made was cherry nalewka[wiki]. Two kinds

+<p>As alcohol base I used rectified spirit 96% and a nameless vodka 50%. They were mixed together aiming at around 70%.
 <p>I decided to make two kinds: one with maceration done first and the other one with sugar-first. For macerated-first
-I also used cherries without the seed. This created a lot of work. I forgot to add leaves to the first stage which made
-the taste a little off. It has a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but I like it. This year I plan to experiment with ratios
-and not forget about leafs.
-<p>As for sugar-first portion, it's OK, the quality is very consistent. However, it's not as aromatic and I always end
-up wondering whether it is a real nalewka or not, since it may ferment this way and does not go through long maceration.
-<p>To store them, I used some left over bottles from craft-ish beer. They have dark glass which is good as it blocks
-sunlight at least partially. It's good because nalewka may oxidize otherwise. For labeling I used a piece of paper and
-rubber bands.
-<p>I did not calculate or measure alcohol content due to technical limitations. Taste says around 60% maybe.
+I also used cherries without the pits. I forgot to add leaves to the first stage which made the taste lack the
+almond-like part which usually comes from the pits and maybe hydrogen cyanide (yes, don't drink too much if pits are
+used). It has a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but this compares to my regular impression of cherries. This year I plan to
