Big beers, such as belgian dubbels, porters, stouts & others can take a month or more. Take a hydrometer reading, leave it for a couple days and take another to find out if its stopped.

Thanks! For your help!
If by "beer is still fermenting" you mean "airlock is still bubbling", this could be due to temperature changes, not fermentation.
But there's nothing wrong with letting a beer sit for 2-3 weeks before doing anything with it. This is my strategy, anyway.

Yes the airlock was still bubbling, didn't know temperature changes would make the airlock bubble.thanks
Sometimes fermentation occurs without a bubbling airlock. Sometimes a bubbling airlock occurs without fermentation. The conclusion you should draw from this is that gravity samples are the only way to know how much fermentation is occurring.
