Why does using hop sock affect grain quantity in BIABacus?

I just finished my 3rd BIAB and so am still getting used to the BIABacus. I think its an amazing tool and really appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into it!
The more I use it I'm sure the more questions I'll have and hopefully there'll be someone on here to give me some answers or point me in the right direction.
So, the first of many questions; I was recently playing with BIABacus whilst putting together my 3rd BIAB and noticed that when I enter a 'N' into the 'hop sock used' it increases the amount of the grain bill, quite substantially? Can anyone tell why more grain is needed if you don't use a hopsock?

Cheers,

Awesome, thanks guys

The link was very useful, cheers MS!

I've not used any other brewing software, only the BIABacus, so I'm obviously bias but it's a bloody good tool I'm sure you'll agree

I think all those involved in developing it need a big pat on the back and a beer . Hopefully as I gain more and more experience I'll be able to contribute to the forum to help others!

Cheers,
