Some yeasts work faster than others. Temperatures >65 F will also ferment
faster than at colder temperatures. So it's possible that your fermentation
is complete in just 21 hours. However the only way to know for sure is to
check the specific gravity. Get a hydrometer and dunk it in. If your
specific gravity is somewhere between 1.000 and 1.020 and stays that way for
3 or 4 days, then fermentation is done. If it's higher than that, then
fermentation is stuck. If that's the case, you could try adding yeast
nutrients or a few Beano tablets to get it going again.
