it's not supposed to have a heavy spice profile. The rest of the spices should be singing backup to the ginger. If you don't taste any ginger then you messed up somewhere.

I'm planning on tweaking it a bit this year. I might play around with the spice profile a little more. I definitely want to try using fresh ginger instead of the powdered stuff.

Yes --> RDWHAHB

Everything you described sounds okay. It's not the end of the world. If it tastes funky after conditioning or kegging then you can start worrying a little bit.
