Haven't brewed because the last 3 were not so special. I can drink them but its not pleasant to differing degrees. Can't offer it to anyone.

I have a some left of:
blonde - twangy, toughest to drink
ipa - twangy but the strength of the beer gets you through, the hops are lost as it is. Very bitter.
dark choc ale - I know its good under there but a bit medicinal

So figured I would:

  1. chuck it in
  2. try and go kegs
  3. go to all grain
  4. think on it a while


I'd like to do 2 and 3 but I'm going to need to spend what I don't have right now.

So I did # 4

I'm putting the issues down to oxidizing. I'm syphoning the beer twice. I don't think it's infection but I don't have an expert opinion.

Thinking on it I'm looking to do a reset and then another kit brew.
New fermenter
New hoses
New airlock

Not so much spend. Maybe $50.

Also
No racking to secondary for dry hoppage. Do it in primary.
Or don't do dry hop

Kegs I don't have to prime (as well as bottle) so it's a one and final moving of the beer. But if the problem is not oxidization the beer will still be rubbish.
