You have to warm it up in order for it to dissolve.Try placing the jug of warm water for a bit and you will see the chunks go away.

Did it initially dissolve and then precipitate, or it never dissolved? It is hard to get it to fully dissolve initially, and warming helps.
Did you make the recipe to the exact concentration? Is it the baked or unbaked recipe?
