21 C is perfect. That is not even close to a temperature that would
slow the onset of fermentation; 10 C might be an issue. Maybe your
yeast was defective, get fresh, hydrate it and you should be fine. I
like Steve's idea of checking the SG first though. Never fix anything
until you are sure it's broken.
