I need to put 2ml of 88% lactic acid into the mash water. What is the typical way to measure that out? Is there an equivalent conversation to weight?
 
A "drop" has a volume of 0.05 ml. Drops vary by container, but it will get you close enough. 40 drops in 2 ml.
 
Drops can vary significantly.
Try counting 40 drops into a cup on a gram scale and see how much each one weighs.
Try doing the same with a syringe.

I find weight to be the best method for me.
My scale reads 0.01g.
1.209g/mL is what I use.
