Diacetyl in Rye Kolsch

After 4 weeks the beer cleared up nicely and the “off” flavor I think I perceived is gone.

Very nice yeah it's hard to judge a beer early especially if it's a lager.

Time is your friend when it comes to young beer... and not so much when it comes to old beer. Strike that balance.

I love it when a plan comes together!

The diacetyl you've added after cold crashing and the 2 days diacetyl rest may have helped to decrease some of the sweetness, but the corn flavor could be a result of the malt you've used. Corn has a distinct sweetness to it, so it's possible that the malt you've used is contributing to the sweetness you're tasting.

Also, If you are experiencing a noticeable sweet taste that is from residual sugar, you could try reducing the amount of sugar you use in the future.

I would recommend you let it sit for another 2-4 weeks, then give it a taste again and see if there's been any change.
