Default slow fermentation question...more info likely people would want

My apple cider wine bubbled for almost 2 months before it slowed down. I
don't know why, but I kept going by SG and recipe and in the end, it was
great. I would like to know what Terry Garey's rich apple recipe is, is
it somewhere online or in a book?
