Lol... The US is in the midst of a craft beer craze, so you may be able to find some acceptable brews. I judge beer on how closely it resembles a glass of Coors at 34F, so you'll need others for advice on that.
As for power, an accident with 110V is less likely to invoke a life insurance payout rather than 220V (which we do generally have available for stoves, dryers, HVAC, etc.). I foolishly bought a clock-radio in Germany because it was the only one I found with a 24-hour display. Turns out the clock time was based on the power frequency (which reasonably affordable adapters cannot convert) :-(. Sorry, but it is actually Friday now ;-). sas On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 6:58 PM Wayne Bickerdike <wayn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry Jesse, > > I lived in the USA for five years and found that Edison screw light bulbs > get stuck in the socket, plus there is no recommended torque setting for > installing same. > > Many odd things about your electricical standards: > > No isolating switch on wall sockets.
