All depends on how fizzy you want the cider to be!If you like your cider to have more carbonation(like sold in pubs) then I would use about 100g of sugar.Is it a 5 gallon batch?If not then scale it to your needs.
If you like with less fizz then 50g should be ok.
Have you got a means of re-gassing the barrel(s30 canister or co2 bulbs)?, as you may not have enough co2 to serve all the contents without some more gas being added.
