Do you have a full PDF or something of what to do and how to do it?
Also, is there variations in measurements? Like say I only have a 3 gallon carboy, would I need to throw in 2/3 or 3/4 of the yeast into it?

@RagingReaper101 Sorry man i don't have any pdf or anything. I pretty much just took to jugs of apple juice from the store, added a kg of dextrose then added some champagne yeast and let it ferment! haha

@Crypticx666 Right now I'm running a batch of the cider and a cran-grape thing just to experiment. I followed your recommendations on sugar and added a premium cuvee yeast to see if I could get a higher alcohol yield. It's been sitting for a week and just yesterday they both stopped bubbling. Does that mean it's ready or should I continue to let it sit?

@RagingReaper101 well if it's done bubbling, like less than once a min, it's time to rack into a new vessel to get it off that yeast bed. let it sit again until its clear whether that be a week, 2, 3... until it's clear, then bottle it, or keg it, or naturally carb it, what ever you want to do with it.

On a small note you should try adding a strong tea, I did this on mine, apparently it adds Tanin which is good for cider as cider normally has Bramley apples in which apple juice doesn't so gives it more flavor variety.
