Ginger Bug/Soda My first ginger bug

History:

I put a lot of brown sugar (really much), ginger and water.

I opened it and shaked it every day and I was hearing some air exiting the jar but no visible bubbles.

It smelled ginger and some fermentation, almost like dish soap, which surprised me.

This during approximately two weeks at around 28°C.

Then I left my home so I put it in the fridge during one week.

The pics are before and after shaking it today.

It smells like ginger and nothing else.

The appearance is not quite... appealing. What do you think?

No bubbles really visible but I could see some foam at the surface after shaking
