Leistad's book was very good when it was written, and is still useful for
introducing a beginning brewer to the basics (canning, starters, etc.). The
Zymurgy Yeast Issue goes way beyond the techniques involved in Rodgers book.
A good microbiology book is the way to go. Another good source of technique
and recipes I have found is commercial and home texts on mushroom cultivation,
they tend to be easier to understand from a laypersons point of view, stress
sanitation and have practical suggestions (for very expensive lab
counterparts).
