I'm not sure I'd trust the effectiveness of my brake fluid to a visual check....

I know when my wife's car went in for it's service the did some kind of 'boiling point' check on the fluid. I have no idea what that is, or how they do it, but it sounds very much like there is a more scientific method of checking the water content than visual.
