buymeacoffee.com/rainfordsbrewlab I am currently trying to purchase various equipment for The Brew Lab including a juicer, various ingredients, a dedicated camera so Im not using my phone camera and some storage and brewmania for the lab. Patreon was suggested to me by a subscriber but this seemed easier to set up and a more personal touch. Please only donate if you can afford to and you have my word it will go to supplying The Brew Lab with further projects. Thank you.
