What do i tell my roomates if they see me pressure cooking jars?

What deception can I give my nosy roommates if they see me pressure cooking jars of birdseed with foil tops? I haven't been able to think of a good excuse and could use any advice/help! Answers regarding being truthful will be ignored.

do it when they are not around. If you can't get away with doing everything when they are not there its not worth the risk. If you are going for personal amounts maybe get some premade ones or trade for pre made ones from someone here that lives close.

that is a great idea as it sill cover all grain simmering and other crap like making LC's and just about everything except the fruiting chamber. It also give you an excuse for everyone to step up cleanliness around the place so your mash does not get infected with a funk.
If you build a basic still and make dumpster wine you could get away with all of it just hide the jars.

Tell them your canning. You got your dads recipe for pickles and you want to try it out. Get some cucumbers and make a few jars of pickles while your at it. Then if any questions ever get asked about anything your doing, your canning and working on canning stuff, or beer making, whatever.
Or, you can go the route of getting some shitake fruits from the store and tell them you are going to grow some indoor edibles. That ones a bit more risky, but, you can always get a few edibles in your FC if you want to, and either way, as long as a few edibles show up every now and then, nobody will think a thing. You will be able to store stuff in the fridge,slants, agar, LC's, whatever, it's all for your edibles. Tell them your cousin does it and he turned you onto it. Then go into the millions of benefits that mushrooms have for health reasons, to body cleansing, whatever, there are millions of reasons people grow edibles. Plus, if you are growing cubes, etc, it's always way safer to have an edible "front" to whatever your doing. Many many mycologists grow edibles just for this reason and more.

Tough call man. My best suggestion would be to drop a few clues about ur excuse. Lets use the home brewing suggestion as an example. Tonight mention u want to try brewing ur own beer. In abday or two drop it into a conversation again. In a week pc ur jars. Then after a few days say something went wrong. Now if u can get away with loading and unloading ur pc withoit them seeing then use the brewing excuse. If they have to see the jars then u need a better excuse. I told my roomate i was doing some canning of vegetables to have for the winter.

It's not wrong, but it'll probably be somewhat impossible to seriously grow shrooms in a house full of room mates. Parents and siblings respect your privacy a lot more. If a room mate thinks something illegal or fishy is going on, the chances of your privacy being violated is much higher.
On the flip side you know your room mates better than we do, such as why or how you're living with them in the first place. If you've got three sheltered children in 20 year old bodies as room mates, I'd be less reluctant to risk it. If they find the jars tell them it was a hobby before you left home. You can always say you didn't want them to think you were growing psychedelics.
That'll at least buy you some time to reevaluate the situation. If you're worried about them figuring out you actually were growing shrooms because you get rid of them, then say f*ck'em. It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.

If you tell them what it is, they are much more likely to get busted for your mushrooms if the police arrive. If it is in your room and they do not know about it, they are not guilty.

The first rule of growing is to tell no one.
Telling his room mates would dramatically increase the odds of getting busted via word of mouth.
Also make sure all room mates know to never let the police in for any reason without a warrant. They need to check who is knocking before they answer the door.
So many people have been busted due to noise complaints, then the cops just shove their way in when the door opens. Do not let your roommates play music.
Grow some oyster mushrooms too and tell everyone that notices that you are growing mushrooms that you are growing oyster mushrooms.

Well obviously if he feels he can't tell his room mates then they would be totally against it and all the restrictions it brings on them,and I'm afraid "officer it's not mine,honest I didn't know about it" is just not going to stand up especially all living together.If my room mate did something like that I'd bury my foot in his teeth

Don't tell your roommates about mushrooms. They will come and eat your harvest! Just tell that you are cooking some food using very old father's recipe. Or that you with some of your friends are trying to make some beer and your task is to cook these jars with ingredients.

I hear fermenting straw works well for cubes. You could do bulk in a closet. Preferably in a closet that the land lord doesn't own.
There is absolutly no reason to tell them. Doing so is insanity if you don't like jail/prison. Brian Cooper said that every person you tell increases the odds you'll get caught by 10%. I bet roommates are higher. Family and friends snitch too.

Thanks for all the ideas, I guess I go with the cooking food/grains, as one of my roommates works at a brew-pub and might not buy the making beer one. As for anyone who thinks that telling them is a good idea; NEVER GROW, or ill be seeing you on the news.

thats probably a good idea, although home brewing and commercial brewing general uses an entirely different set of equipment, if only because of size and level of control and automation.

You shouldn't be putting your roommates at risk without them having prior knowledge...that's super fucked up, imo.
Also, if you can't trust your roommates with the information, then either get new roommates or don't do it... best advice I could give.

Um, there is not risk to them. And I don't trust my own family with this stuff. That's not saying anything about me, it's just that people by nature like to talk. There is simply no need to spill your heart out and tell them.

If you have a room mate, you better be honest and have his agreement as well as blessings. 
If you fall, your room mate will be swimming in the same pool of shit that you are swimming in.
He certainly wont be too happy if he is sandbagged.

Room mates are not responsible for your activity unless they know about it. It may be safer for them to not tell them.
