Is he talking about batch sparging or fly sparging?
I'm talking fly sparging. When i get my equipment i plan on fly sparging, and false bottom with a 10 gallon round cooler.

What about his grain to water ratio?
I think that depends on the recipe, correct? I've read 2 quarts/lb, and i've also seen 1.7 quarts/lb.
So i guess my final question, is a 5 gallon brewpot big enough for sparge water?

And, FWIW, i am jonesing to start all-grain brewing. I have zero space for anymore bottles in my fridge, or my chest freezer. Which causes a problem with where to put my fermenter. I may take some old cases of homebrews (couple months old) and put them in the hall closet to make room for my fermenter. And, next friday i think i'll bring some to work to give out.

People tend to have a ratio they are comfortable with at their house. I have been using 1.25 but I think i may up it a little closer to 1.5. 2 is going to give you a really thin mash, but that may work for your system. 1.25 is how I learned how to brew, but I am going to change it up this next time.
For me, I would be maxing out a 5 gallon pot and maybe having to bring another gallon of water to temp after. However it may work for you, no other way to find out other than to try. Since I use a low water to grain ratio I need more sparge water.
