Not quite - you must also avoid it becoming waterlogged, or else it
will turn into silage and smell. The solution to that is to add some
dry material (even shredded paper) or simply let it dry out, and then
loosen it to let the air in.

In any case, you can be completely laid back when making compost,
except when adding the recycled beer, of course.
