There are a few generalities that may make this topic easier to understand, so let me cover a few things that may not seem relevant right away. The first general rule is that the density of yeast cells growing in a flask without any gas supply other than the oxygen that diffuses through a cotton stopper fitted to the flask is about 100 million cells per milliliter. Shaker tables and stir plates help gas transfer, especially when the flask is simply fitted with a cotton plug, and the rate of cell growth and cell density can be enhanced with these tools. The upper limit to cell density using these methods is about 150 million cells per milliliter. When I think about cell density I cannot engage my brain with gallons because microbiologists always measure cell density in metric units, so gallons, even to folks who use that volume of measurement on a daily basis, simply make things very confusing to follow. So this answer will not contain any conversions from liters to gallons, except this one . . . 5 gallons is roughly 20 liters and for the purpose of this discussion I will assume that the nominal homebrew batch size is 20 liters.
Another general rule is the rule of 10; that is starter cultures are stepped up tenfold per jump. In a yeast lab most starters begin by selecting a single colony from a Petri dish and inoculating a 20 mL starter. After a couple days of growth this starter is moved up to 200 mL, then 2 liters and then 20 liters. This last step is where many homebrewers end up for pitching. If you begin with a vial of yeast and perform a starter step you can inoculate the 2 liter starter and pitch your 20 liter batch after a couple of days.
The rule of ten makes perfect sense because the cell density of the culture is diluted from 100-150 million cells/mL to 10-15 million cells/mL and that is a perfect pitching rate . . . for most lager beers. Like many
brewing methods adopted by commercial breweries, yeast propagation rules are usually applied to lager
brewing because that is the most common beer type brewed in the world. Many ale brewers pitch at about half the rate of lager brewers meaning that you could use a smaller starter for ale brews and have a healthy fermentation.
You ask about how large a starter can be made from a single vial and that depends on the number of cells contained by the vial. The goal should be about 10 million cells/mL of starter when you begin the propagation step. Since thick yeast slurry contains about 1 billion cells/mL you want to increase the volume of the vial by a factor of 100. So if your vial contains 20 mL of thick yeast at 1 billion cells/mL, you will have about 10 million cells per mL when this is added to 2,000 mL (2 liters) of wort.
The method does have some very key differences from those used to carbonate beer. One of the key differences has to do with the carbonation level in the beer. Nitro beers contain between 1.2 to 1.8 volumes of carbon dioxide (2.4 to 3.6 grams per liter). Without diving into the gritty details of gas tables, this very low level of carbonation is actually a bit hard to achieve in a commercial brewery when normal practices involving carbon dioxide blanketing and cold temperature are used. For example, many breweries add a very slight carbon dioxide overpressure at the end of fermentation so that as the beer tank is chilled to near-freezing temperatures the tank headspace does not dip into vacuum pressures. Although this pressure is very low, it is sufficient to cause the beer to have too much carbon dioxide at temperatures below about 42 F (6 C). I will get back to this topic shortly.
There are several ways to go about getting the proper blend of nitrogen and carbon dioxide into beer. Commercial breweries tend to implement in-line methods when vessels are too large to allow for batch-type processes and this is especially true with nitro beers because nitrogen is difficult to dissolve in beer. But for small commercial brewers and homebrewers, it is very easy to batch nitrogenate in a keg. I first began playing around with this technique when I was a graduate student at UCDavis over 20 years ago and continue using the same method today for 15-barrel batches of nitro beer at Springfield Brewing Company.
If nitrogen and carbon dioxide content set the stage for this great dance, the nitro tap starts the music. The nitro tap contains a plate designed to cause gas breakout when the beer is pushed from the keg at 30 psig pressure. If breakout does not occur during dispense no magic happens. But if you follow these easy steps and have the right tap you will be good to go!

I used to work for Paul Mueller Company, one of the largest stainless steel fabricators in the United States. Unfortunately there are many things that cause damage to stainless steel and many owners of this alloy find out the hard way that stainless steel is not stainless in all situations. The good news is that certain types of damage to stainless steel can be repaired, especially when the damage is identified soon after it occurs and that remedial actions soon follow.
Another type of rusting that occurs is when the area around a weld is affected by heat during welding. The so-called heat-affected zone around a weld is typically more prone to corrosion because the chromium content is not as high as the parent metal. This problem is more pronounced when too much heat is applied during a weld and is why weld color is used to judge the quality of a weld.
In all of these cases rusting often appears when certain chemicals are applied. And one of the things often seen is that the rusting does not affect all of the metal, just parts. The most likely cause for this spotty rusting is localized failure in the passive layer that makes stainless resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
One common method to repair the damage in the passive film is a cleaning method referred to as passivation. This type of cleaning uses an oxidizing acid to remove free iron from the surface of the steel and to remove embedded iron that is very close to the surface.
Another method that is much more safe is citric acid passivation using EDTA as a chelating additive to bind iron. Although this technique is not as aggressive and not as effective as nitric acid passivation, it is much more safe, does not have the disposal challenges and does not damage elastomers. For these reasons citric acid passivation is commonly used as an alternate method.
Both of these methods help to restore the passive layer by cleaning the surface of the steel and oxidizing chromium to form chromium oxide. While this film spontaneously forms on the surface of clean stainless
steel without the aid of oxidizing liquids, passivation does help to repair damaged surfaces.
I may have missed the mark with your problem, but I am pretty confident that you have not done severe damage to your keg and that a more aggressive mechanical cleaning with a polish pad or citric acid passivation will take care of the problem.
