I have a honey american wheat beer that has been in primary for 2.5 weeks. The expected OG was 1.047 but I ended up getting a couple points higher at 1.052. The expected FG is 1.009. I used US-05 and didn't see any bubbling at all. After a week, I checked the gravity with a refractometer and saw that it was actually fermenting at 1.027. I must have a leak in the bucket lid. But, at the end of 2 weeks I checked again and it was still at 1.027. I moved it upstairs and got the temperature up to 65 F (it was cold the week before so I thought a little temp increase would help) and pitched another packet of US-05 to see if my yeast fell out due to the cold. Half a week later and still no change. Do you think the yeast is just stalled or has the beer really reached its final gravity?
