Prime with dextrose if you're after a neutral character. Dextrose ferments out almost entirely leaving minimal residue, it ferments quickly (about 1-2 weeks from my experience).

Measurements are about 1 tea spoon per stubbie or 2 teaspoons for a long neck. Or you can use carbonation drops (expensive though) which are about a teaspoon each. I'm not sure about an IPA's carbonation needs, but I'd be guessing that perhaps even 1.5 teaspoons for a long neck would do the job well enough.

Otherwise, use the search function and read about bulk priming (if you have a cube/2nd fermenter to bulk prime in?) If you don't I recommend the trip to Bunnings, as the $10-15 you spend on a cube is wellllll worth it considering how inprecise and time consuming individual priming is.

EDIT: Butters beat me to it, those calculators are very helpful.

But how do you know what the "2.5" is comparable to? Is that 2.5 the number of liters of CO2 in the entire batch?
