The plaster/medicinal taste usually comes from chlorine in your water. You need to add a campden tablet. This should deal with that problem. The other reason for medicinal taste is an infection
I use a wild camping filter (the sawyers is good because you can screw a bladder to it and hang it before you start. It removes all sort of rubbish and chlorine. I’ve used it in my meads and ginger beer to great effect. I’m not a fan of using chemicals when I can avoid it but campden tablets are a good shout too.
Not_so_brite, have you got any friends who brew you could get together with (is a socially distant way, maybe FaceTime or WhatsApp.) to help.
