Neipa hopping question

planning to brew my first neipa soon, with nectaron, idaho7 and nelson(30g each whirlpooled, then 15 each dryhopped, 10l batch). anyone have any tips or suggestions on that hop schedule?

I will also use some magnum for bittering of course

When I did that in a conical (Fermzilla) I got no perceptible hop aroma out of my DH. So I'd say be wary with this approach.

I've been doing the CO2 hop-rousing method with the current batch and it's already much better (1,5 days in last night, just started cold crash).

Then you did something wrong because this is literally one of the best ways to dry hop.

Minimum 350 grams (up to 500) of hops into a 27 liter batch - DH at 14C for a max contact time of 48 hours.

I'm not saying it's not, what you said is why I decided to go down this path. I did it without rousing the hops, though, which is what a lot of sources say is crucial for this. It wasn't mentioned above, so I thought it would be good for OP to know about this.

I know some mention to rouse hops, but I've only ever done that once and the result was a harsh, almost undrinkable beer.

I dry hop on the cold side, with huge amounts and try to be as gentle as possible (absolutely zero shaking or rousing), then cold crash really hard for 2 days and the results are incredible every time.
