sour cereal...is it off???

[saltywater]

Hi!!
I made this really good buckwheat cereal...at least it tasted yummy before i stuck it inside the dehydrator.
But after the "cooking" it tastes pretty sour...nothing to do with the wonderful taste it had yesterday..
I am wondering if it´s normal for the buckwheat to "transform" and taste sour or maybe it´s actually turned bad.
There is one little thing...when mixed with almond milk the sour taste disapears...
what´s up???
p.s. i just went into the kitchen and it smells sour...
i am flipping it over and drying it out more...it is still quite wet.

the recipe is from the beautiful "Raw food Real world" cookbook by,Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis

2 c buckwheat groats soaked
3/4c maple or agave syrup
1 1/2tsp cinnamon or 2 tsp carob pwd
2 tsp sea salt

grind everything in a food processor and dehydrate for 8/12 hours
flip and dehydrate until completely dry and crunch

I have not had the sour thing happen, so I am unsure there. Perhaps the seeds were off or they began to ferment from being too wet for too long?

I do know this from experience--dry it REALLY good or it will mold if you store it.

Thanks!!!
I think that´s exactly it!!!
I didn´t spread it evenly enough and the mix didn´t dry as fast as it should...
trying again next week.
