My Brat recipe calls for 3 # Pork, 1# Beef and 1 # pork back fat.

my last fresh brats, I used 4# pork and 1# pork fat.  Came out good.  About out so I will be looking to make some more before long.  But with no college football on, the demand for brats goes down.  They just taste better watching football on TV, eating a brat and drinking a cold one.

I poach my brats in beer then finish on the grill  ;D

When makin brats I use the pork buts with the most fat on them,,,,,,,,100% pork

I believe authentic brats are pork and veal.  But we can make them any way we want.
I make them with 100% bone-in pork butts.  I've found that boneless butts seem to have less fat on them. 
Pork is cheaper, so it helps with the cost. 
And we like em that way. ;)

Nope use what you like. I would suggest making smaller batch sizes just in case an all beef brat really doesn't float your boat.
