My beer wort has been in the fermenter for about 6 hours. I see bubbles in my airlock but no movement inside of the carboy. And don't see any krausen. Any thoughts on this?
 
Just chill. If it's not showing any signs in 48 hours maybe there is reason for concern. As far as bubbles coming out of the airlock, it could either be from beginnings of fermentation or perhaps oxygen coming out of solution. Though I'm not sure that would rise...
 
If the wort is heating up or was oxygenated it will off-gas before fermentation. Your extremely unlikely to see active fermentation/krausening at 6 hours. Give it 24-48 and if it's not going then you can worry.
