Carbonating cider

[Pillsburyjoboy]

I recently made a batch of cider - about 2.5-3 gallon batch. It's currently in a secondary and I plan to let it go for a couple weeks. How much dextrose should I use to carbonate? About 1/3 of a cup? I will add the same as I would beer before bottling, correct?

No. Per 5 US gallons 3/4 cup (4-5 oz by weight) of corn sugar to prime.

So if I did 2.5 gal it would be just over 1/4cup? If it's closer to 3 gal I could do about 1/3 cup dextrose/corn sugar.
