IPA Help

[james1988]

Hello,

Is there anywhere I can have a poke about online, where I can learn what the characteristics of an Indian IPA are. I entered The Spring Thing brewing competition today without even thinking that I need to learn the characteristics of such a beer!

I'll refrain from asking for recipes as I'd like to come up with something myself.

A push in the right direction would hugely appreciated!

Thanks,
James :

PS, I don't know if this is better fitted here or in the recipe section.

I've had a quick google search on 'characteristics of an IPA' and it brings up loads of hits mate :

Tidy, I'd been running searches on the forum (and others) but got massively bogged down with every thread that had "IPA" or similar in it. I was hoping for a website that had some sort of PDF or similar of different characteristics. :)
