Yeah I guess that wasn't clear. The shop air is for reverse cleaning/drying the alcohol out of the bleeder. Use the pump on the bleeder to push the remaining brake fluid out into the original brake fluid container.
I forget I live where the air is dry to begin with... high mountain desert. I actually never get condensation in the air tank on my compressor.
No matter though, one still has to pump up the air pressure either in the bleeder or in the shop compressor and the source of that air is the same. I've used scuba air when I need really dry air.
