OK, it's not brewing related, but you guys are pretty smart so I though I'd give it a shot.
Today, in the middle of the day, the lights started flickering and my computer UPS started freaking out. I checked the voltage in my office and it was 75VAC. That explains it.
Weird thing is, some of the ckts in my house are 120VAC. I put a volt meter across both phases of a 240V connector and verified.
One more data point: the power meter (LCD) on the outside of my house is blank. Normally it's a spasm of numbers doing stuff.
Thoughts? My best guess is the transformer outside my house that converts from X kV to 240V split phase is toast. Irma just went through my neighborhood, so I should be happy to have any power at all.
