Don't worry about the airlock not bubbling. Is the underside of the lid all covered in condensation? If so it's fermenting. I've found once that I had too much water in the airlock and it just didn't push through, brew fermented out perfectly though.

I just put down my first cider on Saturday as follows:

3 x 2.4L Apple and Triple Berry (Brand slips my mind)
Then topped up to 24L with Berri Apple and Pear juice.
450g Lactose
3-400g of Dextrose

Wyeast 4766 Cider.

Fermenting like mad at around 17 degrees. Tastes spectacular and is drying out nicely. Lactose should allow for some residual sweetness.
