Subject: amount of primer 

Howdy, 

This will be my first batch of cider this weekend, following Jay's guideline  
of ~1 gal generic wort (1 lb light extract, 2 cups corn/cane sugar, 1 cup  
brown sugar) with 3.5 gallons fresh cider, and an ale yest. I can hardly wait  
to get going.  

My question is this, and pretty basic: For a bottled sparkling product, how 
much corn sugar to prime? I know it's ~3/4 cup for beer, how different is it 
with cider? Since I'm using ale yeast, would it be the same?  

As long as we're on the subject, how much primer if I keg it? 

Thanks, and Cheers, 

  Mitch
