When cleaning beer glassware using the three sink method, when is the sanitizer applied?

  1. First sink

  2. Second sink

  3. Third sink

  4. Sanitizer is not applied in any of the sinks

The correct answer is: Third sink

In the three sink method, the third sink contains the sanitizer. After the glassware has been washed in the first and second sinks, it is then rinsed in the third sink with the sanitizer solution to kill any remaining bacteria. This step is crucial in ensuring that the glassware is clean and safe for use. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as sanitizer is not applied in the first, second, or any of the sinks.
