Brandy help

[scmoose]

Trying to think my way through my first attempt at a Apple brandy. From what I understand adding sugar may take away from the fruit flavor so I’m trying to make a wash using “ natural fruit sugars “without adding cane sugar. So my thoughts are using 5 gallons of apple cider, and adding 1 gallon of honey to get me around 1.080 ish gravity reading. If I’m short I may just add a couple of the concentrated apple juice mixes at the store which I am calculating to contain 1/3 lbs of sugar. Am I on the right rack here?
