Check out http://winemaking.jackkeller.net. Many of Jack's recipes
are for one gallon batches. His particular one for red Zinfandel
(http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request204.asp) is for 5 gallons,
but most of the measured ingredients can be scaled for smaller
batches. Just substitute 1 Campden tablet per gallon for the
metabisulfite, and use the entire pack of yeast for the smaller amount.
