I'm starting this this weekend. It smells amazing already. I'm adding cinnamon and some orange, though. For the guy who added the Apple slices:you added nutrients for the yeast, that's why you probably ended up with a higher content. It is also possible that the yeast strain you used had a higher alcohol tolerance, which means more alcohol before you put it in the freezer, so higher content after.
