Prime with the same amount as you would with beer but bear in mind that cider takes a few weeks longer than beer to achieve optimum carbonation.

I primed with the same amount of dextrose as I would with a beer. My cider came out carbonated almost perfectly (identical to strongbow or mercury cider).

"Like strongbow" and "came out perfectly" are two phrases that I didn't expect to hear in the same sentence...
