I have a bunch of liquid and or fat inside of my venison snack sticks…I started at a low temp (around 115) I mixed the meat better this time, what am I doing wrong?

I do a 70/30 mix and I did a 5lb batch. I used a quarter cup of water per pound. I am using the high mountain snack stick kit.

twilliams just trying to make it edible…70 venison and 30 pork fat

Is it possible to mix the meat to much?

twilliams I used to have someone do them for me and I gave him the 70/30 mix…I did 115 for an hour and a half, then gradually did 10- 15 degree increase for an hour at a time until they reached an internal temp of 157

It’s definitely a type of fat out…I will try the 75/25 and maybe less water??
