Fermenting in only 2 hours???

So I started making my hooch and I put around 2.5 tsp of Baker yeast in 1L of water and apricot and only after 2 hours it started fermenting , Is this normal or am I mistaken for something else?

My personal record: I fermented 5 gallons of Rum Wash (1 gallon of Blackstrap molasses plus 4 gallons water) in 36 hours and I was dumbfounded. Normally takes me a week.

I can only imagine yours being done in 2 hours would be baffling.

Not DONE in two hours. Visible fermentation started after two hours.

Ohhhhh. Ok. That makes more sense now. I was getting ready to ask you to preserve the fruit and yeast for scientific study.
