This is my third attempt at making mead, I'm already feeling like it's going to give off flavours, could someone be able to provide a foolproof step by step

My third attempt method (5 liters of mead)

(Might be a sanitizering problem? I do use brewers sanitizer powder, I wash all equipment)

Primary: -900 grams of clear/runny honey -40 grams of ginger root grated in mesh bag -Lalvin e1118

After 10 I removed the mesh bag bubbling had majorly reduced

*Right now I have in secondary with grated ginger root and cinnamon in a mesh bag

My first taste made me think it tastes of alcohol but no ginger root taste
