wiggins, this page has some good info on ibu's.. including the ibu's for the 4 main malt shovel beers to give you some idea of where to start.

I'd suggest if your going to start bittering your own extract/partial brews get yourself a copy of beersmith (or something similar) to help you calculate the ibu for you..
