That batch of cider I started up a few weeks ago is still going.  Essentially, 
I put 4 gallons of cider in a carboy with one cup of cane sugar and a pack 
of Red Star champagne yeast.   

It's got a good color and after three weeks, it is putting out a bubble every 
minute and a half (or so). 

I was thinking of throwing in another cup (or more) of cane sugar and some 
yeast nutrient - any ideas on that are welcome. 

Also, I was going to put the cider in a secondary when it stopped, but this 
secondary has, as I recently discovered, a rust spot on the bottom.  It's a 
sixty-year old glass carboy my grandfather gave me and after soaking the 
inside for a few days in bleach, the rust spot became visible where there once 
was dirt. 

I've since decided not to rack to a secondary (I don't have anything else  
except a priming bucket) unless anyone feels this rust spot won't make a  
bit of difference.
