Just getting back on the site after a long leave. Sounds like you were able to get er going again, my experience with compost piles is they are very forgiving. Moisture, fluffiness (turning) and covering are key, if you have a thermometer that’s a bonus if not shove your hand in the center and if you can keep it there for 5 seconds its working well if not add golden flow (urine), if too hot shove a handle into the center to create a smoke stack to allow the excess heat to vent. Hopefully this helps. God Bless from TN formerly WYO
