You can test this on a private group - no need to send test messages to the 'troubled' newsgroup (UTF-8 is here to stay :) Hit `G c' on the group that you want to customize. Set the preferred charset to iso-8859-1. Save. That should do it. The Gnus manual should have more information on this - I don't use it myself, so the manual is the authoritative source. The advice you were given to use iso-8859-1 globally will work, but it's not necessary when you can override the posting charset only for a specific group.
