Oh, I did set that right! Shouldn't have been so unconfident, latest sample was 1.045 so I think I'm very close and shouldn't worry.

I think I'm an idiot... (well I know I am in general, just think it's had an effect on this occasion) I might have had a measuring error - I just resampled after transferring to FV and the gravity was 1.046, the target.
