Bluehammer: Ah ha! Sorted it!
Being a quest item I erroneously thought it would automatically be put it in the ingredient slot, but it didn't it placed some freaky green foetus thing in it's place. The Ostmurk was sitting to the right of the recipe wheel (which I never noticed until now - it allows you to swap out similar ingredients). Swapped it out, bought some Aether and Bob's your uncle. So not broken, just not as obvious as I was expecting.
For those with the original problem, once I made the potion the quest text went back to the original 'Find Sile or Ostmurk', so you don't need the potion to do the quest.
And todays lesson is 'Hover the mouse over everything' ;)
I was getting a bit confused too.
