Hi Colin, this is really somewhat "off-topic" for owfs but well, we are a few here knowing 1w for much more years than Arduino does, so I think it's ok..
Just curious: which code did you use? Most of what I've seen for 1w on Arduino was - in terms of 8bit uC - fully broken or close to that.. wait, delay are methods for Java-People that dont care how much resources they use. And if they get out of resources, asking their boss for another Ghz, GB, Core/CPU :-) The first question is: powered or parasitic. In the latter case you cannot mess around "low-level" with retries, this is very strictly timing. Make your Convert_T, enable (strong-)pullup and wait (sleep) the given time until reading the scratchpad. If powered, don't expect the DS to tell the whole truth, from a very "low-level" point of view, parasitic and powered are nearly the same for a DS18x20..
