Spent $60 on a "beginner" sourdough starter kit and the first loaf came out like a brick

I wanted to get into baking so I grabbed this kit from a local shop in Denver 3 weeks ago instead of just using flour and water like everyone said. The jar of starter they sold me was already dead and I didn't figure it out until loaf number 2 flopped. Has anyone actually had luck with those premade starter kits or is it always better to grow your own from scratch?
