My next beer will be an IPA. I was going to make my own recipe, probably pulling from some already on here, but I was wondering what was to style?

What is the normal OG and alc % along with what's the min/max IBU's... if there is a max for this one.
 
BJCP style guidelines with all the details are right here:

Or, take a look at the Brewer's Association guidelines here.

I've downloaded the BJCP PDF as a reference to keep around. I tend to think of IPAs as being around 6% or so, IBUs of at least 50 or 60, and DRY. Depends a bit on whether you're going more for an English-style IPA, American IPA, or even an Imperial IPA.
