I have been coaxed into doing a partial mash, as my recipe has Munich in it. I was wondering what the ratio of water to grain is for the sparge process.
 
Well, there are a lot of answers to that question and I would advise doing some research, but if you're looking for a quick answer...say, 2qt per pound of grain.
 
The amount of sparge water is more flexible than what is used for mashing. I try to use at least 1.25 - 2 quarts per pound. Since I don't do full boils yet (no wort chiller) I limit the amount of wort in my brew kettle to 4 gallons.
 
I like to use a partial BIB then I add DME at the end of the boil. I doubt I am getting the best conversion, but I am getting great tasting results. No sparge needed and its all done on my stove top.
