Would like to try my hand at some apple brandy

Would like to try my hand at some apple brandy, maybe after my corn runs, before I get back to rum.
I found some cider for about $5 a gallon... It's better than apple juice, is what I'm getting, right? And use EC-1118 right, then ferment around 65? No added sugar. What if I punch the recipe, since EC can take an ABV up to 18%, with a lot of cans of frozen apple juice concentrate, say 20 cans. Thoughts? Be shooting for a 5.5 gallon wash with 5 gallons cider and then the 20 cans of concentrate, some nutrient, and the yeast.
Advice please, those with experience-
