so i went to bottle my oktoberfest that has been sitting in primary for 6-7 weeks and when i was soaking my bottles I dumped some 1-step in with them. When i ran them through my dishwasher to steralize, they all came out white with residue from the 1-step. I am sure this will just wash off if I do it by hand but am I going to see any issues using these bottles or should i just scrap them and get some more going?

just run em through again with no 1-step. You're really just cleaning with 1-step (my opinion)... mix some StarSan in a container, pour a bit in each bottle, shake, pour out before pouring in your beer.
If by "scrap" you mean throw them away then definitely not. Even if you had some pretty bad stuff on there, the glass will not soak up anything. They just need washed. I agree with just running them through the cycle again without the 1 step. I have heard horror stories about dishwashers with JetDry or similar product though... I'm not sure what it does exactly, just that it is bad. I use a vinator with Starsan and I would definitely recommend it if you get an extra couple $$ some day.

sounds like you should fill em up with a little hot water and clean em out with a bottle brush. the dishwasher really doesn't do much for the inside of the bottles. sanitize just prior to use

Soak em in some oxi clean for an hour and you'll be good!
