frustrated with kegging ... why does my beer not appear carbonated?

If you just carb at "your" 30 psi and then drop back to 12 psi eventually the beer will loose its carb.

From personal experience I find this to not be true...

I carb my beers at 30 psi for 30-36 hours and then drop them to serving pressure at 10-12 psi and they do not lose their carb at all even if they sit for weeks.

My reply was to the OP, which if you reread this thread (and read my post in context) you will notice that it is suspected that his low pressure gauge is faulty and reading high. That is why I said "your" 30 PSI
But you are right if you carb at a high pressure and then drop back to serving pressure you will not lose carb as long as you have a accurate working and not faulty gauge
