Exactly.

And the stuff you can buy OTC contains some water. The "purest of the pure" stuff is much harder to find if at all. (I grew up in a family of commercial distillers, and the stuff that came out the top of the columns was literally poisonous and burned with no visible flame)

I would also not use compressed air unless the line has a dryer in it. No point in forcing moisture laden air down a brake line.
