I recently baked a loaf of sourdough and after baking it was nice and sour. The next day, I could barely taste the sourness. I did a cold retard of about 18 hours, not by choice but it was over the holidays and things were hectic. I'm going for as sour as I can get, and its disappointing when it comes out at first nice and sour. Then a day later, it tastes bland. Please advise . Thanks!

I hate to disillusion you, but sourdough bread is not meant to taste sour, though occasionally it does!
So how do you know when you have gotten the flavour you are looking for.
You taste it? Sorry for the levity. :)
Do you mean how do you get the flavour you want? I don't know the answer to that, or even how to get sour flavour consistently. :(
