You can keep your bees happy then find all the preserving jars and accessories you need to store the honey, as well as all the equipment you need to make your own homebrew Mead, all in one shop!
Please let us know if there are any particular items regarding this that you would love to see in our shop! Any advice on the subject and best products to stock will be much appreciated!
Welcome to Witches Brew
15 years on and we are now Exeters only Homebrew specialists!
Formerly Cowick Cookware and Homebrew… We have now rebranded to Witches Brew! We are still the same people, same shop, same products and services, just a different name!
Our shop has undergone some big changes in the last few years. Many of our regular customers would have known my dad Ian Kendall who set up the shop in 2009. Sadly last year in April 2023, he suddenly passed away (taking all his knowledge with him!). So I am now running the shop to keep it going for him! My name is Katie, I am still learning everything there is to know about home brewing and will always try to help as much as I can, if I don’t know the answer we can learn together!
We stock everything you need for your hobby including complete Beer and Wine kits, complete brewing set ups for Beer, Wine and Cider, Spirit kits to make your own Vodka, Gin, Whisky etc. We also stock everything from the buckets and demijohns used to brew in, to the barrels and bottles used for storing it. Everything in between includes the steriliser, sugar, a wide range of yeasts, citric acid, grape concentrates, hops, equipment for testing alcohol levels, bottling, corking and so much more!
Recently, we introduced a loyalty card scheme, like a coffee card but for Beer and Wine kits! So every time you buy a Beer, Wine or Cider kit from us you will receive a stamp and be on your way to getting some money off of a kit in the future!
We also stock a wide range of cooking and kitchen items! From kettles and toasters, through a huge range of kitchen gadgets, scales, thermometers and timers, to baking trays and cake tins, jam and preserve equipment as well, you’ll be sure to find what you need! And if we don’t have what you are looking for, we always aim to source it and get it in for you.
Since taking on the shop we have introduced an even more diverse range of stock including plants (lots are home grown), gift items and Homewares.
We are currently open 4 days a week until 2pm (4pm on Saturdays) as we have 3 children at home to juggle! However we are planning on extending our opening hours in the near future.
We hope to see you down here for all your homebrewing and kitchen needs and you are always welcome to pop in and say hi!
Have a lovely day.

🌿 This should have definitely of had abit of garnish on it 😂 Mamas very cheesy Cottage Pie! 💛🧡🤎💫
💁🏽♀️My Recipe…
Peel & boil your Maris pipers… about 15 mins into boiling, preheat the oven to 220• fan, Chuck your beef mince into a saucepan & whack it on medium to high heat, whilst that’s starting to heat up, add Salt, cracked pepper, a huge sprinkle of gravy granules, mixed herbs, paprika, garlic granules, all until your ancestors say stop… beef oxo.. beef stock pot jelly stir in (can’t remember what they are called 😂) give it all a good mix, mince should be cooking nice keep stirring every 10 seconds or so so it’s all cooking through evenly & the flavours are mixing well, turn they heat down & keep going until it’s all cooked through… then add a tin (or 2 if you’re bulking it out) of baked beans! Omg the cheesy mash & baked bean combo is the best!.. heat through your beans into the mix… by this time your tatties should be done… to them add a huge knob of butter… a huge dash of milk, salt & pepper… mash it to an inch of its life…. Put your mince into your desired dish then lay your mash on top, spread it evenly with a fork to give the top a lovely crispy texture…. Then grate on as much cheddar cheese as you want, don’t let anyone control you here… & what a beauty… bung that in the oven & wish it luck by telling it to say its prayers. When it comes out.. oh my gosh… serve with extra gravy and at least some petit pois or if you’re feeling extra dirty, cauliflower cheese!
ENJOY!!!

🌿Im always hoping the image Im always trying to portray is getting across.. it always seems so far from the end goal though even though it has undergone a massive transformation.. it still always feels like there is so much more I can do & so much further I can take it.. I don’t even think this post explains it enough 😂 it’s hard to put your feelings into the right words sometimes! 😂
