I infused the butter and there is a sludge on the bottom when it cooled. What gives?

First time? Thats's pretty much normal. You can remove the sludge cold by scraping it off, or filter it warm. The last 5 plus years I just use concentrates in butter/ghee so I really don't run into that anymore.

Yeah first time. So what is the liquid stuff? Was it not dry enough or Maybe water content from the butter?

I just read about purifying it in water. Gonna try it

Those are the solids (the non-fat part) of butter. Clarified butter has that removed. If you don't want to deal with it, you can buy ghee or clarify the butter ahead of time.

Ok what happened?
