Jokes aside, the screw-on top has merit.
is it possible that there is a significant amount of air bubbles
produced/trapped/expanding within the mixture, caused by the hot water
and, in turn, causing the system to act like a hot-air balloon,
therefore, be lighter?
* The screw-on top will prevent hot-air system expansion and prevent
the weight loss
* Also, what happen to the system weight, if you let it return to
ambient temperature?
