I tried some and could taste a strange off flavour. Maybe a strong kit would hide it.

Some online HB shops do 3KG of dry malt for around the £15 mark.

Can you describe the off flavour?

A bit like pouring some dregs from the night before into your pint. Like its gone off, or a stale taste.
I bought two tubs in case the first one was a bad batch but both had the same taste.

You may want to try it just in case you like it, £12.50 isnt too much to lose.
