Xmas Sourdough, JLMBBC Style

This is my second JLMBBC experiment using sourdough starter.  The whole idea of a long rise coupled with small amounts of leavening sounds like a natural for sourdough.  Unfortunately, I made a few mistakes with my first loaf.  This is the second try; one of a batch of two loaves.  Weight is about 1.25 pounds.  It looks a lot like the bread from earlier in the week, but it's actually lighter colored, even after a few additional minutes in the oven.  It's also smaller.  I may have overrisen it: I used both regular yeast and some sourdough started, and I was just winging the whole process, so I wanted to make sure there was plenty of leaven.  There was.  In fact, I had to stir it down repeatedly.  The last time I stirred it down, I noticed some frank liquid in the bowl that hadn't been there before.  But the loaf is ok, even if it is smaller and paler than its cousins from earlier in the week.  It's got a nicely sour flavor to it and seems a little wet, like a lot of sourdoughs I've had.  So, we still need some work, but it's not a bad Xmas present overall.
