Perfect bitter? Maybe and maybe not, but it's pretty good. Last month I used Yakima goldings. Three U S gallons.

Will one help in this scenario? More bitterness would require more hops, which in a 30 minute boil would equate to more late hops in a longer boil, potentially upsetting the flavour balance of a Bitter. Isomerised hop extract might be a better alternative, raising bitterness without changing the balance of hop flavour.
The hop extracts are a great way to bump your ibu without adding too much to the flavor. They're my cheat for West Coast IPAs. We used to have a local producer who made great stuff but they closed suddenly.
