I think youwould benefit the most from visiting your local Home Brew
Shop and having somebody explain the hydrometer to you.

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??

Michael,
I think you are reading your hydrometer wrong to begin with. If this
is an inexpensive hydrometer it is graduated in 0.002 S.G.
increments. the first line above the 1.000 mark is 1.002, the first
below is 0.998 below, meaning toward the bottom or base.
