I would recommend Standards of Brewing by Charles Bamforth. This is the book he uses in one of his classes at UC Davis, and puts an emphasis on QA/QC, and before he entered into teaching, he was a QA manager in industry. From page 12:
>Quality Control (QC) is a reactive approach. The serious shortcoming of this system is that it can be associated with waste: it is simply not good enough after the event to pick and choose what is and what is not able to go to trade.

>Much more effective is to establish a Quality Assurance (QA) approach in which systems are introduced that ensure that every stage in its production, the product is within specification. The emphasis is one of prevention rather than detection.

If you do pick up the book, here are some corrections that I got when I took the class.
