Ginger Beer Monster

This is my ginger beer after a week of fermenting. I'm not sure if it's infected or supposed to look like that. I ground fresh ginger in a Vitamix, then boiled for half an hour with 3 cups white sugar, 1 cups brown sugar. Dash of cinnamon, some other stuff I forget. I probably boiled the ginger too long, the recipe I followed was for chopped ginger, not ground to a pulp. I used a Lalvin EC-1118 yeast (saccharomyces bayanus). I also fed it some nutrient and energizer, but with all the sugar it probably didn't need it. I'm new to home brewing and I like to experiment in any of my endeavors, so I didn't follow the recipe too closely.

Mine didn't look like this, but I didn't boil my yeast. Its a bit creepy how it moves on its own :)

@meerkatlibrarian I didn't boil the yeast, I boiled the ginger after I ground it in a blender. I pitched the yeast after cooling the wort.
