How do you use the "Gots" feature?

I don't find it useful and so don't use it at all.

My understanding is that "Gots" was introduced way back in the old days for those into trading so they could make public what they had to offer and "Wants" was for what they wanted to find. I don't need either because I don't do trading.

Similarly I don't use it to keep track of what I buy or have around for drinking or aging, That list is organized differently and stored on my computer.

 

Lots of people have "got" double sunshine, a beer that to my knowledge has not been brewed at all this year. Many of the people who "got" it have added it in the last few weeks. So, yeah......

 

I have the same question. How do we "got"?

 

Go to the page in the database that show the beer and its reviews. Right above the picture and just below the name of the beer there is a box with commands and check boxes. Click the got box and you'll show on your profile stats as having gots. Click on that and you will see your list.

 

I see the boxes for Want & Got - where did the Had box go?

 

It was released again last week FYI

 

Your Had is now your Rating

 

I use this feature only for stuff I have that I want to trade. If you only have one bottle and plan on drinking it then I personally would not add it to my Gots, unless you are just using Gots to keep track of what you have instead of a cellar list.
