Unfortunately most of your typical batter hydrometers only work between the range of 1.000 - 1.300 specific gravity. Home brew beer makers are even more restrictive .999 - 1.050 http://www.alcoholcontrols.com/bewihy.html So, if you want to go with a truly high saturation, it make it expensive to test accurately.
I suspect that unless you have a lucky find in the automotive world that you will have to resort to a digital version. This one works between 0.000 - 2.000 http://www.directindustry.com/prod/s...96-354418.html
For many years scientists would use a set of specific gravity hydrometers... if you have money to burn... https://www1.fishersci.com/wps/porta...=y&fromSearch=

Some days I get the sinking feeling that Orwell was an optimist!
Just $3.79 at Advanced Auto.
Works like a charm.
It takes much more KOH than you think to get to 28%.

It is like buying a thermometer from a store. See if they match.
The hydrometers cost $3.79 each.
Buy 2 and check one against the other.
It would be better if it measured 1.000.
You could check distilled water at 1.000.
OTOH Do you trust mass production and robotically placed labels, etc.?
