................ could I please get tips for making lighter
white yeast breads. I don't know if sourdoughs are supposed to be
light or heavy....but if both apply please advise on how to do both.

If you're using water...
Try increasing the water amount. You might start with 70% water to
flour. If you find this works you can work your way up to 100% or more
and you should have a very light loaf.

Letting the bread rise longer doesn't make the bread lighter exactly
but it makes the loaf bigger ! Don't let it go too long!!!
