Leave it be for about 14 days (test for FG on 11th, 12th and 13th; if you use a secondary you will want to leave it longer).
In my previous experience it is usually all done by 14 (I normally shift it to the cold for 24 hours to clear out before barrelling) what it does inbewteen is its own business usually foaming blowing and stuff. I tend to leave it in a warmed water bath (bucket of water and aquarium heater) in the shed so it easy not to worry about and just go fetch it later.
