Question about partial mashing?

[Mathblasta]

I've been looking at the sticky for Easy Partial Mash Brewing (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/), and I've decided to give it a shot. I have a question before I start, though. Referring to step 5.5, do I pour the water that I used to mash my grains in into the sparge, or is he referring to something else?

You just need to get the mash water and sparge water into the same pot. You can either pour the mash into the sparge or vice versa.

ok, so the two pots I've got running go together, and no need for a third. Perfect, thank you!

Also, if I'm doing several grains, is it ok to throw them into one grain bag and do it all at the same time, or should they be separate?

When i partial mash, i put all the grains in the same bag. If you wanted though, you could mash your base malts (2row, pilsner, wheat etc) and add in your specialty during the last 30 minutes.....but i always just put mine in the same bag and all at once.
