That's it on the nose, in the end. I got home that night and was surprised
to find the SG had actually leapt upwards during the day, and rose to 1.080
by the end of the evening before it started to fall the next morning as the
yeast got to work.

Very relieved. I was looking forward (and still am) to seeing how this
experiment turns out.
