so u mixed water with the butter? and also u used to little product and too much butter.
bwaaaahaaaa......I hope you're kidding, really hope you kidding.
There are a million threads on the same subject, but I suppose one more response won't hurt.
In a crock pot, put in 4 sticks of salted butter, then pour in water so it's a couple of inches above the butter sticks. Put in 1-2 ounces of trim, personally I never use more than one ounce. Simmer on low for 8 hours or so, making sure it doesn't boil. Stir often.
Take out a large mixing bowl, I like stainless ones. Take a package of cheese cloth, fold it so its overlapped well but also lays flat on the bottom and up the sides. Carefully pour in the butter/water mix, then squeeze the trim until there is nothing left in it. I bought some soft plastic oven mitts to do this so you can handle the hot mixture and burn yourself.
Put the strained mixture in the fridge, covered. Don't touch it till the next morning. Take a knife and carefully cut around the outside edges, then very carefully hold the butter disc and pour out the nasty brown water. Remove the disc, lay upside down on a cutting board, and use a spoon to scrape the brown sludge off the bottom of the butter, and get all of the nasty shit off. You now have a pound of very strong butter that will take away any pain you have.
I don't know why people manage to fuck up the easiest instructions in the world so many times.
