I have no means (and no intention) to analyze it exactly, but there is no
point in going through with the hydrometer measurement if the result is
meaningless.
I've weighed a bottle of IPA a while ago, using an identical bottle filled
with water to the same level to determine the volume. But this process was
not very accurate. Now that i found the ethanol hydrometer, i could use
that (observing the tiny correction factor between IPA and ethanol).
