If you bottle it, it takes longer. Depending on the brew. If kept at the right temperature IPAs are ready to drink in 3 weeks.
It depends on how much head you want. (Yes, I know......as much as I can get/afford. )
I've had a Maharaja clone IPA 3 days after bottling and it was great, just less bubbles.
Also, if you keg it instead of bottling cut that time by half.
