how long was it in Primary?
The times that I have actually used primary, I get lazy and it takes a couple weeks for me to get back to kegging it.... but that's just me.

I would say two weeks is good.
What kind of beer? Big, hoppy or complex beers need a little more time to mellow and for the flavors to meld. Simple pale ales and Wits/Hefes don't even need a secondary.

What yeast did you use and what temperature is this lager you got going at now?

When it is clear with a stable gravity you can bottle.
Be patient though a little extra time will reward you.

If it's a lager (i'm not familiar with brewcraft) you' actually want to lager it. TONS of threads on here about that, and if you're just into secondary you're on your way to doing that.

Good point. I took for granted it was made with ale yeast.

Lagering is basically fermenting at a colder temp... It clarifies things quite a bit better.
Typically, you lager toward the bottom of the range of the yeast (which is why people were asking). From the handful of sites I checked out, if you hit about 50 F... or 10C... you should be A-okay.

depends on what you're going for.
2 weeks will be enough if you're going for clarity.
If you're looking to mellow it out, go longer.
