problem making Rejuvelac

[Guest guest]

I've been making Rejuvelac for years with no problem, but my last two batches

were very thick and gelatinous. My recipe is:

1 mason jar of wheat berries, sprouted into 3 mason jars

handful of anise seeds,

2 cinnamon sticks,

handful of raisins,

water to twice the height of the sprouted wheat berries

Has anyone had this experience of Rejuvelac coming out gelatinous? Any ideas on

how to avoid it? I just made a batch without raisins and it came out fine, but I

miss the slight sweetness that they impart.

thanks.
