Went to a community garden workshop and smelled something off in their compost bins

I visited the Elm Street garden last Saturday for a composting class, and three of their five bins had this awful sour smell like rotten eggs. The instructor said they added too much wet food waste without enough browns, and the pile went anaerobic. Has anyone else run into a stinky bin issue that made you rethink your own apartment setup?
