Try this link

India Pale Ale - Home Brew Forums

You will probably want to stick with Extract brewing until you get the bug and move to all grain.

Let me google that for you

When you say IPA and I see you are from the UK, I assume you are meaning the original English versions of IPA, and not the hopped up American versions. If that's the case, try looking up Bitter recipes as well.

It's not a particularly difficult style to brew. Maybe you could start with How to Brew - By John Palmer - Introduction

I went as simple as possible for my first brew. Check out Hefe's.

darrenwest1 · 07-07-2009, 04:31 PM

Look through the Recipe kits at Northern Brewer, and when you find one that sounds close to what you're looking for, click the "Inventory" link and build a similar recipe.
