So I've got my starter going for my first attempt at cider. It's bubbling away, now. But I have a question about sugar ratios.

Lavlin EC-1118 is supposed to tolerate alcohol percentages of up to 18%, right? And I've heard ratios of 1lb sugar/1gallon=1%ABV. So to get up to that target of 18% for 5 gallons of cider, would I have to throw in... 90 lbs of sugar? That seems... odd. Is that right? I feel like I've missed something here.
