OK OK - I guess it is 0.990, whatever is just above the 1 on the scale.
The kit calls for 0.998 - 1.005, so it is still out of the range and tastes
very dry.

Should I add sugar and stabilizer just before I bottle??

It stayed at just over 0.900

I am making a red wine kit.
I have followed the kit instructions to the letter.
After stabilisation my SG is only 0.900, not the 0.098 - 1.005
described
in the instructions.
Is this good or bad and can it be fixed??

Look at your hydrometer scale again, I think it says 0.990, not 0.900.
Kit instructions often say to stabilized at 0.998 or lower. 0.990 is
good for a red kit because it means the wine is fully dry.
